In 2015 Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust established Vocal Chord Perth for people living with mixed long term health conditions, and their care support. Together we enjoy the shared collective experience of singing for wellbeing through learning songs, harmonies, warm-ups, and developing our social connection. We are supported by experienced Lead Singing Coaches and Volunteer Artists.

New members are always welcome dependent on how many people we have attending the group. We sing a wide range of songs, some classic, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and contemporary, through to traditional and jazz. We meet on a Monday afternoon for 1 hour and 45 minutes, have a social time before we start to welcome new members.

Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust aims to run 3 Vocal Chord programmes per year in Spring, Summer and Autumn, with continued partnership support from Perth Theatre and Concert Hall. Each programme runs for 8 weeks and the final session is a shared session for family and friends. We require people to register their interest and be confirmed a place for the most appropriate programme during the year.
