Welcome to Sing For Joy!

Max Maxwell is a choir leader based in Auckland, NZ. His passion lies in bringing people together to create harmony and rhythm in song. He offers a range of singing workshops from half day to residential weekend throughout NZ and the SingForJoy Community Choir in Auckland. All are welcome to his workshops and choir - we all have a voice, and to sing in harmony with a group of others is an uplifting experience and often inspires confidence.

Max is also available to work with choirs on vocal technique and teaching new repertoire.
