Typical Girls: Play & Sing | Term 4 | 2026

We acknowledge this event takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past & present. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

Typical Girls Play & Sing is for all stringed instrument players interested in a relaxed, sing along style session,  with some gentle music appreciation included to enrich the experience.  This group is less about teaching, and more about easy playing options for all,  and plenty of encouragement to sing with the group,  try a harmony or even a spot of solo singing!  There's a theme each term so we can really dig into an era, genre or artist, and the All Welcome Singing Group at Newlands has been known to join us on occasion to bring some extra oomph and colour to our singing!

The name Typical Girls was inspired by UK punk band, The Slits. In this group we are about feminism, uplifting women, building community and smashing the patriarchy one chord at a time.

Meet Rachel:

Rachel is a local singer-songwriter who took up guitar and songwriting in her 40's through participating in Melbourne's vibrant community music scene. After completing two years of music studies at Melbourne Polytechnic, she felt drawn to offering opportunities for women and gender diverse folk to explore their musical aspirations in a supportive and encouraging environment, and began her Typical Girls Guitar Group. She now has 7 years of group and private music teaching experience, and loves seeing the joy, connection, and wellbeing that community music making can create.
