"Not angry, just disappointed "

After 7 turbulent years, filled with constant leadership changes, I have finally said my goodbye to the company I have wholeheartedly supported through thick and thin.
The idea of a contemporary choir which doesn't require you to read music, supports your learning through providing lyrics and online downloads it's the same for all the other choirs around. The sense of community and belonging to a group of like minded people, singing songs we know and like, in great arrangement- you can get it everywhere else, just shop around.
The rehearsal atmosphere, professionalism in teaching and performance opportunities- it all depends on the leader you have, their personality and qualifications, but also on members of a particular choir. What is specific to Rock Choir is their struggle to deal with real problems (when they arrise), the communication with its members and their focus on financial side of the business instead of wellbeing of the people they supposedly treasure. Smoke and mirrors in social media. Portraing themselves as a caring, inclusive, family run company while in reality its a business corporation...
Great experience of love, friendship and community has been recently shattered leaving just a bitter disappointment.

"Really poor communication from the HQ"

Really poor communication from the HQ. They just ignore you. Happy to take your money for poor service. Poorly trained staff unable to deal with and identify major incidents.

"I joined rock choir as I love to sing…"

I joined rock choir as I love to sing and I wanted to meet new people. It quickly became clear to me that it was like being back at school and it was all about making money. It also isn’t as inclusive as it says. The leaders were fantastic and it because of them I have awarded two stars. Everyone sits in their own range ie sopranos, upper alto, lower alto and bass and you do not get the opportunity to mix with others. I only ever got speaking to the people beside me. You have to pay for full terms, even if the choir isn’t meeting due to ‘term time’ holidays. You have strict uniform rules which you must adhere to if you want to perform and which requires you to purchase branded items. Prefects are assigned to each group. You are expected to learn the words off by heart and often aren’t allowed to use song sheets. There are dance routines to the songs and as a person with limited movement I was unable to do these moves which made me stand out, something which I didn’t want. I have now joined a local choir which meets my needs better than this brand.

"Rock Choir - The experience "

I’ve been a Rock Choir member for over 5 years now and have loved every minute of it. The friendship, laughter, community and to feel like you belong to something is worth it’s weight in gold. Yes the price has gone up but for what it’s given me in return is worth it. The leaders are so incredibly talented and work so hard to ensure every session they run is full of fun, laughter and of course singing. Everyone should give it a go, for metal health, it’s so valuable, and for building confidence, friendships as well as sounding incredible.
Come with an open mind ready to embrace the unknown and you won’t ever look back

"Was really looking forward to joining…"

Was really looking forward to joining like minded people to sing with but found it very clicky and not the friendly atmosphere I expected. The leader is fantastic though and the only reason I’ve given two stars rather than one. So disappointed

"Would put a 5 down for the 8 years I…"

Would put a 5 down for the 8 years I went to rockchoir, I made some lovely friends and the leader was good at teaching.
Then covid happened and to keep the choir running I paid throughout and didn’t get anything for this other than online meets but I continued paying as I was committed to the choir.
I had a mental breakdown also during this period and was aware I was unwell but continued to happily take my money each term.
With my recovery I found memory hard so I decided to take a break and 5.00 was asked for the end of term and not so much a Thankyou for the support as a paying customer.
A year or so later I re joined choir as I was missing it and the friends I had made and I was settled in work and recommendation from dr was to re attend, my memory was still not great and work was hard for me to go to events so I decided to leave again and no sooner have I cancelled my membership I started getting emails for 16.50 and these become daily urgent requests, which caused undue stress even. Though I have not been attending.
The rock choir has become a money greedy company which do not care for their members and you are seen as a number not a person.
A shame as was such a good happy close nit group untill covid hit and now it’s all about how much money can be made

"I joined Rock Choir 5 years ago and…"

I joined Rock Choir 5 years ago and have never looked back! After a stressful day at work, to walk into a room full of friends and sing your heart out (however good or bad that might be!) is priceless. It is also so much more than a choir both in terms of social activities we have and the support of friends when life is not going so well. Carey, our relatively new choir leader, is so enthusiastic and supportive and ensures that every week is fun. The icing on the cake for us South West Rockies is a trip to New York to perform at Carnegie Hall! Counting the days …..

" Bromsgrove Rock Choir - Uplifting, Caring & Fun!"

I joined the Bromsgrove Rock Choir in October 2023. I needed a social activity to get me out of the house following bereavement. I used to sing in a church choir years ago and many people commented on how they liked my singing at church events so I sought out a choir and found Rock Choir. It has been one of the most uplifting, motivating and rewarding hobbies I have undertaken. The members are warm, non-judgmental, happy and kind. The choir leader is extremely talented, funny, caring, kind and sooo hard working. I have seen unkind comments about the quality of singing and commercialism around Rock Choir that is totally unfounded. The leaders and members are highly talented and give freely of their time to raise substantial money for charity and happily fund our own travel etc for the events. I highly recommend Rock Choir to anyone who is open to just enjoying singing with happy supportive open people.
