GREAT MUSIC. GREAT PEOPLE. SERIOUSLY GOOD FUN
At Adult Glee Club, we don't just teach songs. We build communities.
Every week hundreds of people walk through our doors ready to sing, laugh, connect and leave feeling considerably better than when they arrived.
And behind every great Glee Club is a brilliant Music Director.
We're looking for musicians who can bring together great musicianship, great people skills and a whole lot of energy.
Someone who can teach a killer harmony, command a room, have a laugh when things go hilariously wrong and create the kind of environment where ordinary people get to feel like absolute rockstars.

THINK YOU'VE GOT THE GLEE FACTOR?
We're not building elite choirs.
We're creating extraordinary musical experiences for everyday people, and communities where people find friendship, confidence, connection, wellbeing and a place to belong.
Yes, we want the harmonies to sound fantastic. But we also want people walking out the door thinking: "That was the best 90 minutes of my week."
If you're a musician, conductor, vocal coach, music educator or brilliant community-minded human who'd love to help make that happen, we'd love to meet you.
