Music

We play, mostly on C/D's, every type of music - classical, popular, jazz, folk, etc., either as an individual with their own programme of music, or as a group with a theme, or as pot luck, making for an enjoyable musical afternoon in a relaxed sociable atmosphere.

This is a group, wishing to explore any genre of music, with the exception of classical music. So anything else would be welcome, whatever you know and would wish to share with other like minded individuals in a friendly and respectful environment. Bring along a CD and lets hear what you’ve got, it may be a revelation!

We alternate between a classical music programme and an opera (viewed on tv) presented by the leader or any member may make up their own programme and present it, followed by a short discussion. We meet twice a month, with the same programme repeated in case everyone wants to come on the same day.

We play mostly in four parts, for descant, treble tenor and bass recorders, enjoying music ranging from 16th century pieces through to 1960's pop - including Ragtime, classical pieces and music from the shows. The group includes a wide range of levels of player but some experience of playing and the ability to read music are needed.

These singing sessions are for everyone, including those who may lack confidence in their voices but who would really like to experience the joy of singing together with friends in harmony. We sing without musical accompaniment, altogether in one big circle, and enjoy all sorts of rounds and songs with wonderful harmonies. We learn all the songs by ear, so you don't need to read music to enjoy yourself at Sing Anyway! Please see Malvern U3A website for further details or contact Sunnara.

Sing Together is for anyone who enjoys singing but lacks confidence or would just like to sing. There will be lots of varied songs to suit everyone’s taste. Come along and join similar people to grow singing skills together and have fun. The first group meeting for 2025 to 2026 will be on Tuesday 7th October 2025 from 2:00 to 3:30pm at Malvern Rugby Football Club.

There are Strum and Sing sessions twice a month. A new playlist is issued each month based on the group's extensive collection of songbooks. These sessions are suitable for players of all abilities with the first part of each session being set aside for learning ukulele skills. Beginners are always welcome.

The u3a Wind Group started in November 2022. We have about 18 players in the full range of woodwind instruments from piccolo to bassoon plus saxophones. We would particularly welcome instruments in the middle and lower musical register, but we have a waiting list for flute players. Our aim is to meet on alternate Mondays to play a variety of types of music for pleasure rather than performance.
