Lay choir
An amateur choir is a community of singers who are musical amateurs and, unlike professional choirs, sing in their spare time rather than making a living. Typical representatives of amateur choirs are most church choirs or choral societies .
Lay choirs usually meet regularly one evening / afternoon a week, less often every 14 days. Due to the clientele, the rehearsal not only includes the musical design, but primarily the teaching of the musical text and content as well as technical aspects such as voice training or technology. Overall, the focus here is on the educational aspect or simply enjoying music. In contrast to the professional field, in which a very specific performance is worked out, with amateur choirs, repertoire maintenance often plays a key role.
