What you'll learn
Join a contemporary choir and learn how to sing with our music & singing short courses in Sydney!
The Sydney Community College Contemporary Choir is a pop singing group for singers of all ages and abilities.
Join us to set free your inner voice, as we learn to sing a range of contemporary and pop songs – with some music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s through to more recent performers such as Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, and Bruno Mars.
Unlike traditional choirs which are based on SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), this choir brings mixed voices together to sing parts that allow those with less musical experience to enjoy the full choir experience without the complexity.
This choir is an encouraging, fun and supportive way to throw your head back and sing, as you build confidence in your ability. Additionally, a community performance opportunity will be sought (yet to be confirmed).

By the end of this contemporary choral singing course, you should have:
- Improved your basic vocal skills.
- More confidence in performing parts and singing in unison with a group.
- Learned some basic music notation to start reading music.
- Experienced a performance in a community setting.

Monica said: Enjoy the choir and Luke's tips for improving singing voice. Would like the cost to be reduced similar to the more formal choir. I don't know if this is possible but would like it considered by the college so can continue long term. Thanks
