WORK WITH US

CURRENTLY RECRUITING FOR CHOIR LEADERS AND PROFESSIONAL SINGERS.

BECOME A CHOIR LEADER

We are always looking for energetic and confident people to lead our non-audition contemporary choirs around the UK. We focus on creating a fun and inclusive environment for all to enjoy singing together, whatever their ability and experience. This position offers excellent opportunities to advance your leadership skills, inspire members, and create a local choir community; as well as involvement in exciting performance and recording experiences. 

THE POSITION

As one of our leaders, you will teach material written and arranged by Some Voices and prepare members for performances. Our rehearsals welcome members into a space where they can develop their vocal and performance skills, as well as create friendships within a diverse community. Our HQ team provide all the resources and support needed to create this environment through teaching a repertoire of pop material in a dynamic and inclusive way. You’ll be part of a network of friendly choir leaders around the country, who support each other and share learnings. 

SCOPE OF WORK

You will lead weekly choir rehearsals across our term based structure. We have 3 terms a year, each consisting of:

  • 10 weekly rehearsals running from 7pm - 8.30pm 

  • Teaching 8 songs based around a theme. Past themes have included: ‘Festival Headliners’, ‘Hollywood Hits’, ‘Choir Clubland’, ‘Top of Your Pops’ (90s)  and ‘Studio 54’ (Disco).

  • Preparing members for a  gig each term led by either yourself, or a national 'hub' leader

Our typical choir has around 25 -100 members with an average age range of 24yrs-50yrs old. We do not use sheet music with our singers as we aim to be as inclusive as possible; parts are learned by ear with additional online resources to help members practice at home. 

Our HQ team books venues for rehearsals and shows, with input from National choir leaders as to suitable spaces. 

Our central marketing team promotes all choirs and shows, with input from leaders being crucial to the growth of each choir.

Additional performance and rehearsal opportunities are often available as our choirs are often booked for radio, TV, festivals and corporate events.

Fees are fixed per rehearsal - details can be provided on application - with potential for extra sesssions and bonuses.
