The Melody Makers Choir - GEELONG

Hey there,

You are invited to The Melody Makers - Geelong's Singalong Choir that everyone can be apart of. No auditions. No judgement. No need for perfection. Just the joy of singing in harmony with a room full of beautiful humans.

Every week, we’ll learn a new song, celebrating some of the most iconic pop hits. It’s your chance to relive the magic of past and present decades, sing with a wonderful group of people, and pick up some cool harmonies in a relaxed and encouraging setting.

Event Details:

📍Join us at The Poa Banyul Community Hub in Mount Duneed

When: Every Monday night at 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM (ish) unless it's a pop up event (check the agenda below!)

Please make sure to arrive on time as doors will (lovingly) shut at 7.15pm to not disrupt the flow of things happening within the room.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Vocal Warm-Ups & Exercises: Get your voice ready and learn how to start blending harmoniously within the group.

• Discover, learn and sing one new song each week

• Hands-On Practice: Enjoy guided practice learning the parts with a focus on blending and harmonising as a group.

• Group Sing-Along: Dim the lights, relax and have some fun performing the song we’ve worked on together. Cue all those incredible goosebumps.

What to Bring:

• A water bottle to stay hydrated

• I will email out the sheet music and vocal parts to everyone who has registered to the event prior to gathering. I will print the sheet music but you can also bring it on an ipad or print it yourself if you like!

The Melody Makers is run by Laura Rowan, Founder and Vocal Coach at The Singing Collective - known for helping vocalists find their unique sound. Laura is a local singing teacher with over 10 years of professional experience in Popular Music & Performance. She is so excited to create a strong community and bring out the best in people’s voices.

Learning the Music

Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources before the event, and our collective goal is to practice the parts ahead of time so that we might come into the gathering with it learned! This way we can spend our time together really diving into the richness of music-making, rather than trying to teach the parts one by one. We don't need to know our parts by heart by any means (and you defffinitely don’t have to memorise it), but the stronger we are in our parts coming in, the more we'll be able to really dig into the fun stuff!

Low Pressure Participation

The Melody Maker events are participatory, but low-pressure. You'll be invited to sing along and make music with us, but I encourage you to draw your own boundaries and engage at your own pace - I pride myself in creating a judgment-free community where you can express yourself however feels right!

If you cannot attend an event, you can request a refund up until the day before. If you have any issues or questions, feel free to reach out to me. Lastly, make sure to follow the choir on instagram @themelodymakerschoir to hear us singing, find out our upcoming songs and get the latest singing tips.

I can't wait to meet you!

Kindest,

Vocal Coach
