Most of our groups are non-auditioned and open to anyone who loves singing Rock &amp; Pop music and wants to develop their vocal &amp; musical skills and confidence together with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">All our classes have a focus on contemporary vocals and the musical genres of the 1960s to early 2000s. We must admit we do like songs that rock and move us! Songs with a message, a bit of an edge and attitude. So if your shower repertoire includes Stevie Nix, Annie Lennox, David Bowie or other legends you grew up with, SingMates should be right up your alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Terms 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-c-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-d1465fa3516f843c66aabce3ef506a5d\"><strong>Sign up now<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">All classes run throughout the year, over 4 terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">There are 8 regular sessions for all classes per term, plus a Sing Together Event or Performance in week 9.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Term 1<\/td><td>03 February &#8211; 02 April 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Term 2<\/td><td>28 April &#8211; 25 June 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Term 3<\/td><td>28 July &#8211; 24 September 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Term 4<\/td><td>13 October &#8211; 10 December 2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-nv-light-bg-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-width:3px\">Our SingMates love to get together for a big sing, so we&#8217;re now making this a regular part of our sessions.

Do you want to know more about your vocal range and be able to sing with ease and a &#8216;good sound&#8217;? Then start here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8216;Foundations&#8217; are the perfect group singing classes for beginner* or not-yet-so confident singers who want to build confidence, develop a healthy and effective vocal technique and learn how to apply their new skills to singing Rock &amp; Pop songs. The smaller group environment allows you to become part of a team but also offers the opportunity to work on individual challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Our two levels, Foundations A and B<\/strong>, provide a structured, progressive program with fun activities that will help you understand and develop your vocal instrument. Both of these classes are great for newcomers to SingMates who want to find their feet in group singing, as well as improve their vocal technique, music and performance skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In all classes, there will be plenty of time to practice your singing with Rock &amp; Pop songs. We mainly sing in unison but we might throw in the occasional harmony for a little challenge. Practice routines and resources will help you practice at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You can stay in any Foundations class for as long as you like or need. Building good foundations takes time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:21px\"><strong>Foundations A  &#8211; &#8216;Breath-Tone-Resonance-Articulation&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Term 1 and 3 : Tuesdays at 5.30pm (1 hour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Term 2 and 4 : Wednesday at 5.30pm (1 hour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This class will help you find and unlock your real voice. We will show you how to control and coordinate the body parts that allow you to create a healthy, easy and beautiful sound in a comfortable range. We will look at common tendencies and &#8216;bad habits&#8217; of untrained singers that may cause you to strain the voice or work way harder than necessary. All songs or parts will be beginner friendly, so you can build confidence quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This class should be a great fit for those of you who love singing but never had any proper vocal training. Or for those who have not sung on a regular basis for a long time and want to reactivate their voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>* A group setting might not be the right environment if you struggle with matching pitch (singing in tune). If you are looking for guidance in developping this skill, we recommend booking in for a <a href=\"https:\/\/maevon.org\/singing-lessons\/\">private session<\/a> with Trix first, so she can help you figure out what is going on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:21px\"><strong>Foundations B &#8211; &#8216;Vocal Range&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Term 1 and 3 : Wednesday at 5.30pm (1 hour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Term 2 and 4: Tuesdays at 5.30pm (1 hour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Singing very high or low notes and moving between them smoothly is a skill many singers need to work on.  This class will get you started on your journey of singing through your range with a more consistent and stronger sound. We&#8217;ll also start to extend your vocal range and build more agility. The songs or parts will be a more challenging with a larger range, as well as more complex melodies and grooves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This class may be a good fit for singers who have had some training or have a fairly free &amp; resonant voice, and specifically want to develop and extend their vocal range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Groups of 8 &#8211; 14 singers*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Fees: NZ$ 240.00 (+ GST) per term (9 sessions)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singmates.org\/?page_id=99\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign Up Here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">SingMates Core<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Term 1 &#8211; 4 : Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 6.45pm (1 hour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">These two classes are for all of those who are looking for their weekly fix of singing with like-minded people.
