DICKENS CHRISTMAS CHOIR
Fancy a proper festive sing-along, guv’nor?
Join British singer/songwriter Laura Saggers and her jolly good team of first-rate voice teachers at the Laura Jean Music Academy for a spiffing, no-pressure Christmas choir experience.
We’ll be warbling beloved Dickens-style carols with all the gusto of a Victorian street urchin on market day; perfect for all levels, from shower crooners to seasoned belters.
Our rehearsals are all about music and connection. You’ll meet smashing locals, sip on steaming hot apple cider (none of that lukewarm nonsense), share a good old chortle, and bask in the heart-warming glow of community spirit. For those feeling a touch of the ol’ holiday generosity, we’ll be performing at Ciela Senior Living Home in the Palisades on December 7th to spread cheer to residents affected by the fires.
Singing isn’t just a bit of fun, it’s downright marvellous for the noggin. Music has a magical knack for unlocking treasured memories, lifting one’s spirits, and tickling the brain in all the right ways. It’s like a warm cuppa for the soul.
Why is it Free?
Because, dear friends, ’tis the season of giving! Laura Jean Music Academy is offering this choir as a gift to the community, no shillings required. We’re here to bring folks together, lift hearts, and perhaps even embolden those who’ve always fancied a sing but were too lily-livered to try. It's free, so what could possibly be stopping you?
Here, there’s no judgment or funny looks, and certainly no shaming. Just a merry band of singers having a jolly old time. Whether you’re a confident songbird or convinced you sound like a cat in a rain barrel, you’ll be warmly welcomed and gently coaxed into joining the chorus.

FAQ's
DO I HAVE TO ATTEND EVERY REHEARSAL?
Not at all! If you need to miss one or two rehearsals, that is fine! We just ask that you practice the music at home privately using our handy practice tracks so that you can catch up on what you missed. If you intend to perform in the group performance, however, you will need to attend the rehearsal on December 4th.
ARE THESE SONGS GOING TO BE HARD?
Nope! Christmas carols are notoriously simple with pretty harmonies that repeat for each verse, often in rounds. They are easy to pick up, even for the beginner singer.
