what is Rooted Voices choir?

Rooted Voices Community Choir is a weekly singing group for all people and ages, meeting on Thursday evenings at the Tabernacle at MOMA in Machynlleth, Powys. The group runs with the school term time with breaks for half terms.

We focus on voice health, feeling good in our bodies and harmony singing. No previous experience necessary and shy singers very welcome!

I operate on a sliding scale of £5-15 per session, or term bookings. I open for term bookings at the start of each term.

Our term dates for 2025 are:

Spring term: 9th Jan to April 10th (half term break on 27th Feb)

Summer term: 1st May to 17th July (half term break on 29th May)

Autumn term: 5th Sep to 18th December (half term break on 30th Oct)

How to Find Us

Our entrance and exit is at the BACK of the building, next to the window onto the Tannery gallery. To get there from Penrallt st, turn at the war memorial, take Maes Glas and then the first right onto Graig Fach. There is parking just outside the back entrance. See photos below for guidance. The Tabernacle is just down the corridor to the left of the door where you’ll come in. I’ll put up some signs to guide you.

We can use the disabled toilet, however as the rest of the gallery will be locked and alarmed, we cannot access it via the lift which means there are 3 steps to navigate to get down to the toilet (ironic I know). If this will prevent you from coming, please let me know and I will see if we can arrange a ramp or another solution.

Testimonials from Choir Members

  • Last night was so wonderful. Thanks for bringing this lovely choir to the valley .

  • So many of us have missed singing in a community choir and it was a lovely evening with beautiful new songs. I arrived hideously anxious but you made it fun, easy and a complete joy - thank you ever so much, Ruth!

  • I loved the welcome and acceptance of all and the moments when the harmonies just hit that spot.

  • Really enjoyed how you move through the parts so quickly and everyone can join in with everything until they learn their favoured one - hardly any standing around not singing which has always been my least favorite part of other choirs! Also love the bits of vocal technique you weave in :) songs have also been a good level of complexity/difficulty

  • I love the fact that a 'random group of people' can, after five weeks, sound like a half decent choir!
