ABSALON KOR – ØVEDE

The Absalon Choir welcomes all singers.

Those who are accustomed to singing with others, and those who mostly have their singing experience in the shower. We will have two choirs, one for beginners and one for intermediate singers. About the two different choir classes: Beginner A choir where we start from scratch and get the basics in order. You don’t have to be completely new at singing, but it is okay if you are. The chosen songs will be at a level that everyone can follow, but there will also be songs that can provide some challenge and make you a better singer. What’s most important is that you are willing to try your best and have fun with singing with other singers. It is not required that you can read music. Intermediate This choir is for those with previous choir experience and a basic understanding of technique, rhythm and harmony. The songs will challenge you to become a better singer. The choir leader adjusts the arrangements to match the choir. You are not required to read music, but the sheets will be available if you can. Both choirs are spaces where you can develop as a singer, together with others, and where it is okay to make mistakes because that is how we improve. It is okay if you miss a couple of classes, but in that case, we ask that you practice at home to stay up to date with the rest of the choir. Aleksandra and Jordan will lead the choir. They will take turns being there every other Wednesday, but lead the choir together and create a unified choir experience. About our choir leaders Aleksandra Raczynska is a graduate of Choir Conducting and Jazz Vocal Performance from the Music Conservatory in Gdansk, Poland. Now based in Copenhagen, she has been performing, teaching singing and leading choirs for several years, sharing her passion for music with individuals and communities. Jordan Jackson is a professional singer and private music teacher with over 15 years of experience. She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Music and is passionate about using the voice for mindfulness, vocal confidence, and community engagement. Our goal will be to cherish not just great singing, but also overall musical growth. We will work on harmony, rhythm, and musical understanding while building trust—both in the music and in each other. For us, a choir rehearsal is a space to connect, create, and enjoy the process of making music together, where every voice matters. Praktisk info The classes will be taught in English.
