#. Tuneless Choirs Encourage Singing

 

Are you a terrible singer but still love to belt out a tune?

Well, there may be a choir just for people like you.

Tuneless choirs are a growing phenomenon in the United Kingdom.

There are composed of people who consider themselves to be tone-deaf.

Some have even had an embarrassing experience while singing in public.

But these singers did not give up despite their supposed lack of musical ability.

Now, they are finding strength through these new choirs.

Tuneless choirs have popped up throughout the U.K.

They meet weekly to practice and even hold concerts.

They choose popular songs that can be easily sung in large groups.

"This is about participation, not performance, " one choir member said.

"Everyone should feel comfortable using their voice."
