SEEKING PASSIONATE MUSICAL LEADERS – NATIONALLY

Soul Song Choirs, a network of funky pop choirs are looking for expressions of interest from experienced, dynamic musicians who are passionate about getting people singing and are keen to join our team with their own Soul Song Choir!

Launching and running a choir on your own is tough, but when all the hard work of admin, musical selection and finances are managed for you, then you can put all your energy into the best part - getting people singing!!!

We are looking for:
  • dynamic and energetic personalities who can "hold a crowd" of adults
  • people who can commit to running at least one rehearsal per week for approx 46-48 weeks of the year (although you're welcome to run more than one choir per week if able)
  • musicians who understand singing in harmony
  • experienced performers who understand how to tell a story through song
  • contemporary musicians who can teach pop, soul and gospel
  • committed leaders who can also offer one weekend per term for sectional rehearsals and performances and are prepared to lead other community performances on occasion, one annual weekend camp and one major professional production each year
  • engaging people who can be the face and embody the values of Soul Song
  • confident communicators who can teach and communicate with the choir, potential members and audiences in a concise and effective manner
  • communicate with the choir, potential members and audiences in a concise and effective manner
NB: It's important to note that, while musical experience (ideally with choirs) is important, we are looking more for personality and energy. Soul Song Choirs puts at least as much, if not more, emphasis on the process of learning our music than the product.  Rehearsals should be fun, energising spaces, where people of all levels of musical experience and ability, can take some time off from the mental load and sing for joy.  We work hard on getting a good sound and telling great stories, but don't take ourselves too seriously and we will never be competing choirs.

We will offer you:
  • guaranteed weekly income, during Soul Song terms, with potential for growth based on member growth and retention
  • weekly rehearsal plans for 2 hour rehearsal including warm ups and all content
  • annual calendar of events and commitments at least 6 months ahead of time
  • a massive suite of learning resources for you and your members
  • full admin support for weekly rehearsals, communications, membership management and performances
  • active social media, online presence and advertising to recruit members
  • the chance to be part of a dynamic, big thinking, creative team as we grow our network of choirs
  • the potential to tour within Australia and internationally (at own cost or subsidised cost, subject to tour specifics)
