    • musicians who understand singing in harmony
    • experienced performers who understand how to tell a story through 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)
