The Choir meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 7.30pm in St Andrews, Deans. 

A choir is a traditional part of worship in most churches throughout the world, and our church is no different.

The Church of Scotland website says, "In the Church of Scotland today there is no commonly agreed definition of a choir, for in one place it can mean a group of willing and enthusiastic volunteers of both sexes with very little musical ability, and in another place it can refer to a group of women, men and boys, led by a professional musician, all of whom have a high degree of musical literacy and ability.  In past times, the choir leader aimed for a well-balanced group of sopranos, contraltos, tenors and basses (SATB), capable of singing all manner of music: anthems, introits and hymns in four-part harmony.  However, the reality for many churches today falls far short of this standard of excellence, and many church musicians are faced with the task of training a quite different group of people.  But a lack of musical proficiency among the singers, or the fact that your choir members are small in number is no great deficiency at all. What is important is commitment and enthusiasm, a love of singing, and a determination to strive for what is best in helping the congregation in its weekly worship and praise."

We may not have a large SATB choir, but we DO HAVE the commitment and enthusiasm!
