The Pop-Up Choir | An Intro to Choir Singing

We'll kick things off with some fun introductions and vocal warm-ups with our conductor, Anusha! Expect goofy sounds, laughter, and even notes you probably didn't know you could hit. Then comes the real magic. We'll learn to sing together—in harmony, in rhythm, and as a big, happy family choir!

As for what we're singing? Pitch, please! That's something you're just going to have to show up to find out. 

So, come as you sound and we promise you'll leave with a smile on your face, a song in your heart and probably a tune stuck in your head all week!

1. I have never sung before, and I’m not good at singing. Can I still join?

Yes, absolutely—you’re welcome to join! This choir is a perfect place to begin. You don’t need any prior knowledge or singing experience. We’d love to introduce you to the joy and concept of choir singing. We aim to bring together voices of all kinds and create a space where you can express yourself through music, smiles, and laughter.

2. Is this like a class where we will learn singing?

Nope, this isn’t a singing class! The Pop-Up Choir isn’t about formal training—it’s all about introducing you to the joy of singing together. Think of it as community singing where everyone’s voice blends to create something really beautiful.

We do keep things structured, though! We’ll kick off with some fun vocal warm-ups, pick up a few simple choir concepts, practice together, and then put it all into action by learning and singing a song as a group. It’s relaxed, lively, and a whole lot of fun!

3. I have attended a session before and want to join again. Will it be repetitive?

Not at all—come on back, we’d love to have you again!
Yes, the basic flow stays the same, but each session has its own energy. We switch up the warm-ups, try out new exercises, and the best part—there’s a brand-new song every single time! So each session feels fresh, fun, and totally worth a repeat. You’ll always walk away learning something new and singing something different!

4. Can I get my kid along?

The workshop is open to anyone 12 years and above.

5. I cannot be there for the full 4 hours. Can I come for just 2 hours?

You’re more than welcome to join, but the session is designed step by step. If you miss the beginning, you’ll miss the warm-ups and the training that build up to the final song. And if you leave early, you’ll miss the best part—singing the full song together as a group!

“My family introduced me to music at a very young age, and it's been the only constant throughout my life. Singing in choirs during school days and a capella groups in college brought a newfound appreciation for community singing.

These experiences made me realise that it's easier to sing confidently and enjoy it when you're in a group, regardless of how good or bad a singer you think you are. And that's exactly what made me want to start 'The Pop-Up Choir'.

For me, it's a space that celebrates music in a way that's inclusive and celebratory, regardless of talent, skill, or language barriers.

If you plan to join us, I hope you find some joy in being part of this. And I hope you never stop singing.”

Hi! I'm Anusha, a Mumbai-based composer, vocalist, guitarist, and choir conductor who engages in multidisciplinary practices. As a musician, I am deeply influenced by the styles of soul, jazz, R&B, Latin and choral/ a cappella music. I love to explore the boundaries of the voice, and my compositions often feature intricate vocal arrangements and vocally-driven melodies. The written word is also central to my work, and I place a lot of emphasis on the interplay of poetry and harmony. I am currently working on songwriting and releasing originals with my band, Second Sight.

As an arranger and choir conductor, I led my university choir, and now lead my own a cappella group, Fourth Seat Collective. I conduct the senior and youth choirs at Mehli Mehta Music Foundation, and have conducted for the Bandra Zonals. I also practice as a composer and performer in the immersive theatre world, being a part of the experimental theatrical-musical pieces Lullaby, Stranger and Unshared Childhoods.
