Sunbury residents have been warming up their vocal cords at the weekly social music and singalong group.

The Sunbury Neighbourhood House holds the social group for adults of any skill set every Wednesday from 9am to noon.

Group member Sam Preskar started attending the group about five years ago, and said he has been able to improve his skills.

“[I had] never played an instrument [when] I first came across this group about five years ago,” Mr Preskar said.

“I can now play and sing with other people as we easily access any song with chords and lyrics. It is great fun to do this, even for beginners like me.”

Program Coordinator Ebony Finnin said the group is a great opportunity for the community to socialise and enjoy music.

“Music is such a wonderful way to socialise without the pressure of continuous conversation. You can just be present in a space with others, enjoying the music,” Ms Finnin said.
