Singing and playing music you love with others is so great for the soul. In fact, humans have been doing it for tens of thousands of years and for good reason – it's incredibly uplifting and connects us with each other and with ourselves!
We offer a relaxed and supportive environment where kids and adults can sing and play songs they know and love with their peers without the pressure and formality of many other choirs or ensembles. Just good times, great music and a whole lot of positive energy!
Thursdays 6 to 7.30pm

Our music
The songs we learn at NSME depends on what the group members want to play as well as their level of ability. We are open to considering all types of music. We particularly try to incorporate songs that allow our band members to express their experiences or their feelings both through the lyrics and style of the music.
Of course, the nature of contemporary music (particularly rock), means that some songs are not appropriate especially for younger children, and we incorporate this issue into our music choices. We will always choose the clean versions of any songs with swearing or questionable lyrics or avoid these songs altogether depending on the age of the group. If you have any concerns about this, please get in touch.
Below is a snapshot of some of the songs our ensembles enjoy and those that are on our radar!
