Be part of the choir that joy built!

 

Soul Song Sydney is launching in 2025 with weekly rehearsals starting in mid January.

The Sydney choir will be part of a network of community pop choirs across Australia who meet for the joy of singing and the love of community.  While you'll be part of a thriving local community, you'll also have the opportunity for regional, interstate and international travel and exciting projects with over 500 members across Australia if that's something that excites you!

Check out the About Us tab of this website to find out more about us, our values and our music. 

If you are based in Sydney and want to be notified when our new rehearsal details are released, please leave your details here and we'll be in touch before the end of 2024 with all the exciting information!

 
 

WEEKLY REHEARSALS


New members are welcome at any time and your first rehearsal is always free so you can check us out without obligation.

If you want to know more before coming along, you can give Jaq a call first on 0412 255 587 if it will help with the first rehearsal nerves!

The singing starts at 6.30pm but doors opens from 6.00pm so you're welcome to come in a bit early.  Rehearsals go through until 8.30pm.   

There is great food downstairs in the pub if you want to grab a meal first and you're more than welcome to buy a drink at the bar downstairs and bring it up into the rehearsal room.

At a typical rehearsal, we will do some fun warm ups before working on two songs and finishing with a celebratory song at the end of the session known as the Soulster Parade.

Those who come the most often get the most out of Soul Song but there is no expectation for people to come every single week and we have lots of resources available for those who miss a week or two to help them catch up if they want to.  You'll get more information on this when you join, but these include audio learning tracks, video tutorials, sheet music, technical tutorials and more.

We will give you a member pack and all the lyrics you need once you've signed up. Then each week when you come, you just need to bring some water, a highlighter, pen or pencil, your lyric book and reading glasses if you're of that kind of age!


 

IMPORTANT STUFF ABOUT COMING TO REHEARSALS

WHEN AND WHERE:

  • VENUE AND NIGHT TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
  • Each session runs from 6.30-8.30pm, with time for a drink/snacks in the bar before of after rehearsal. We are a very social group!  Doors will be open from 6pm
  • As each of our choirs learns the same repertoire at the same time, members are free to attend rehearsals in other parts of the state or even interstate if travelling. In addition, Brisbane rehearsals are livestreamed on Monday and Wednesday nights so Gawler and Adelaide members can join those if they want to catch up on a missed local rehearsal. 
  • For those with accessibility requirements, all of our rehearsal venues are wheelchair accessible. We do recommend that you give us a call before coming along though just to make sure we're expecting you and can make your arrival as easy as possible.

FEES:

  • Once your fees are paid, you can attend as many rehearsals a week online or in person as you want
  • Fees can be paid by the term or on a weekly basis, via an automated recurring subscription
  • Term fees are $205 standard or $133 concession
  • Weekly fees are $18 standard or $12 concession
  • Concession rates apply to students, concession card holders, pensioners etc

Please note:

  • Term payments - there are no refunds for unused rehearsals, however, you can switch between term payments and weekly payments each term so if you know that you're going to miss a chunk of rehearsals in any given term. you might want to pay weekly that term.
  • Weekly payments -
    • this is an automated weekly payment, that will be charged on the same day each week. 
    • weekly payments are paid regardless of whether you attend rehearsal that week
    • if you're not able to attend your regular rehearsal in person on any given week, you are able to attend an alternate rehearsal in person or online, watch a rehearsal recording or watch a video tutorial - so you don't need to miss out
    • if you know you are going to be away for more than two weeks at a time, you can pause your weekly subscription until you return, without affecting your access to resources and emails etc. It can also be cancelled at any time if you don't want to continue your membership.  Please note that the subscription payments can't be turned on and off on a weekly basis depending on whether or not you'll be attending. It's like any subscription membership to a gym or fitness classes etc.
