Join Australia's Biggest Community Choir Movement

About Pop Choir

Pop Choir is Australia's biggest community choir, with over 800 members across multiple Melbourne locations. We believe that if you can speak, you can sing — and our mission is to create joyful, inclusive spaces where everyday people come together to sing iconic pop songs, feel good, and build community.

Founded by esteemed vocal coaches Sharon Stokes and Darryl Moulton, Pop Choir is not your traditional choir. There are no auditions, no sheet music, no judgement — just feel-good music, uplifting vibes, and sing-your-heart-out fun. From local performances to viral videos with over 100 million TikTok views, Pop Choir is a movement powered by the people.
