Soul Song Brisbane Pop Choir

Come and be part of the choir that joy built!

Singing in Cairns, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Online since 2010, we are all-inclusive community choirs and we’re on a mission just to get people singing by providing a fun and funky space for people of all musical experience to make a joyful noise together. We sing a range of pop, soul and gospel songs that you'll love to sing and that our audiences will love to hear. Our secret weapon lies in the way we do things - our rehearsals are judgement-free places where you can sing in safety regardless of experience or ability.

So, Geebung - let's get singing!

New members from teens upwards are welcome at any time and your first rehearsal is FREE so you can check us out without obligation.

Our members are teachers, electricians, nurses, lawyers, business owners, students, retirees and retail workers - we have quite a few mums and daughters/mums and sons/dads and daughters/sets of sisters too so it's a great way to stay connected with your family and have fun together! Some have a heap of musical experience when they come to us but the majority have little or none.

Everything about Soul Song is designed to make life easy for you. We know you're busy so there are no committees and no expectation for you to come to every single rehearsal - you just come when you feel like singing.

What's even better is that there are no auditions and you don't even have to be able to read music. We teach all the songs by ear in a fun and relaxed atmosphere and we provide you with all the lyrics you need as well as some additional resources for those who want to practice on their own during the week.

The songs we sing are generally pop songs from all eras but with some gospel, Motown and soul thrown in. We sing generally in three or four part harmony and with either professional backing tracks or a cappella (which means without instruments).

We are on a mission just to get people singing by providing a fun and funky space for people of all musical experience to sing together music that is good for the soul.

But be warned - we play as hard as we sing!
