2 FAQS:

1. How do I know if I’m a “treble” singer?

Short answer: Don't worry about it too much. If you want

to sing, we'll support your voice.

Longer answer: Upper voices are voices in the treble clef, traditionally known as "altos" "sopranos" and "countertenors". "Treble" or "Upper Voices" are non-gendered terms, which we prefer because your vocal range has nothing to do with your gender! If you enjoy singing anywhere between the G below middle C and the G above a high C - you might have an upper voice!

2. What do we mean by allies?

For us, an ally is someone who is not queer themselves, but who is supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. This person loves to sing, and is committed to co-creating a safer and joyful singing environment.
