Join the choir
Consider joining the Westside Community Folk & Gospel Choir! Our rehearsals are Monday nights at 6:30 PM at United Methodist Church (250 California St, Santa Cruz). Our first rehearsal in Spring 2024 will be on Monday, January 29.
If you're interested in joining us, but you're not sure... attend our first rehearsal of the semester-- no strings attached!
No audition or experience necessary. The choir is made up of singers of all levels--from true beginners to veteran musicians.
The choir is a course at Cabrillo College designed for members of the community. The focus of each semester is to prepare a beautiful concert of music. By interacting with the selected repertoire and carefully developed lessons, students develop their vocal technique, musicianship, and performance skills. At the end, we present a fantastic concert that is open to the public.
If you don't want college credit, register for MUS 539; students pay only the materials fee. If you DO want college credit, register for MUS 39; students pay both tuition and materials fee.

How to sign up
Step 1. Apply to the college
Note: Students who took a class at Cabrillo in one of the previous two semesters can skip this step (remember that summer counts as a semester).
Applying to Cabrillo College is easy and straightforward. Visit the Apply/Register section of the Cabrillo College website and apply to the college. After you submit the application, it takes approximately 1 business day for it to be approved. When you receive a welcome email from Cabrillo, that means you're ready to register for the class.
Step 2. Register for the class
Follow this step-by-step guide to registering for the choir and paying your fees. ⚠️ If the first week of class has passed, you will need an add authorization from the instructor in order to register.
