A Musical Community Without Barriers

The Wiltshire Soundabout Choir welcomes people of all ages and their families/ carers. It is run by Soundabout and Wiltshire Music Connect.

Sign up to the Wiltshire Choir


The choir celebrates that everyone has their own way of sharing their voice. Here are a few examples of ways you could join in:

  • Singing or vocalisations
  • Making sounds with an instrument or sound maker
  • Using technology e.g. an iPad or EyeGaze
  • Movement and dance
  • Signing; We use a mix of movement, BSL, Signalong and Makaton to interpret lyrics*

By welcoming all voices we aim to be as inclusive as possible, and actively try to remove barriers to participation from those with severe and profound learning disabilities. 

The choir sings songs chosen by members and occasionally writes their own songs. Every piece of music is designed so that members can be involved in their own way. 

The choir is free to join, there are no auditions, and you do not need to be able to read music notation. Please fill in our sign up form below.

If you have any questions, please visit our FAQs page or send us an email.

*We do not claim to be Makaton, Signalong or BSL accredited. We work closely with volunteers, choir members and use resources available on YouTube to create our signing videos and inform our delivery. Our aim is to support musical engagement and enjoyment through movement. Please visit Makaton, Signalong and/or BSL for more information and more accredited ways to learn.

What is it like to be a Choir Member?

“Together – Song for Wiltshire” by Wiltshire Inclusive Choir
The Place Where The Lost Things Go – solo by Megan, Wiltshire Inclusive Choir

The smile as the hello songs begin says it all …

The sense of achievement when the others have enjoyed his performance. Immense pride …

To see my daughter’s face light up when she was asked to play her ukulele was priceless …
