I don’t care who joins my choir: Investigating attitudes to diversity and inclusivity in lower- and upper-voice choirs
Choir participants’ attitudes reveal a gap between a general welcome and who actually gains access.

What was studied
A survey-based study of 907 people associated with choirs; more than 90% identified as White British.
What it contributes
The article examines how members understand diversity and inclusion within their ensembles.
Where the evidence stops
The respondents are people, not 907 choirs. Their perspectives do not represent excluded groups. Related reports use the same survey material, and choir findings need careful translation to bands.
Related choir-survey reporting
This article draws on survey material also used in related choir reports. The 907 respondents should not be treated as 907 organizations or added again when related reports enter the collection.
About this review
This is a targeted review of selected sections. The record should not be read as an appraisal of the entire work.
