There won’t be a separate group rehearsal ahead of the recording session. But you have complete audio recordings of each song part, and the musical score as a guide, for you to rehearse individually. During the recording session, our Musical Director will lead you through the songs in warm up and there will also be plenty of opportunity to record and re-record parts of the songs in isolation, if some tricky bits catch the choir out!

Through West End Musical Choir's weekly teaching Sessions and now the opportunity to be a part of the process of making recordings, singers at any stage of their journey can learn, achieve a boost in confidence, and inspiration, as well as have a fantastic, professional, memorable experience. For those Members who are industry professionals, this is something to add to your resume! The recording environment has one very unique and important aspect, which helps us improve at a faster rate. This is the simple ability to play back our performance for instant feedback. Working with the West End Musical Choir Team and our play-back we can produce much more fine-tuned feedback and specific feedback to enhance everything, from an entire performance, or single small fragments of bars. So we’ll be able to make improvements and keep improvements and raise the standard our singing overall.

No. Please prepare to be singing and recording for the whole three hours.

If you drive, perhaps you could consider a car-share to spread the cost, otherwise we recommend that you use public transport to plan your journey.

After booking your ticket, we will send you an itinerary of the Recording Session nearer the time. This will include specific instructions for arrival and meeting points etc.

Yes, you can. We have purchased a full licence for us to record video and take photographs from our sessions. Please take note of the IMPORTANT INFORMATION section at the bottom of this page about how you may use this footage. Please note, that footage can be taken from inside our studio, Studio 2, but NONE are allowed throughout other areas of Abbey Road Studios. It is strictly prohibited, as enforced by Abbey Road Studios. If one attempts to do so, Abbey Road Studios have the right to ask that person to leave and no refund is offered. There are many celebrities who record in other studios and walk throughout the building, so this understandably has to be enforced.
