Who We Are
My Pop Choir is where the joy of music and the power of community come together in perfect harmony. Our story began with a simple yet profound idea: to create an adult community choir where the love for music and singing knows no bounds. With a passion for providing a pressure-free environment, My Pop Choir offers a sanctuary for individuals, regardless of their musical background, to come together and let their voices shine.
What We Offer
At My Pop Choir, we redefine what it means to be a singer. Our adult community choir is your gateway to discovering the joy of singing, no matter your level of musical expertise. We handle the details, so you can focus on what matters most – the music. With choirs in the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Metro Vancouver, and online, you're invited to join us for a ten-week musical journey. You will learn 5 diverse choral arrangements every term, spanning various genres and decades. From pop and rock to R&B and folk, we embrace the rich tapestry of musical expression.

Jacqueline Curtis
Founder
Jackie was the creator, behind the scenes administrator, and the driving force on the who, what, why, where, when and how of this unique experience. Her love of music, old and new, her family background in theatre and music and her passionate belief in what singing joyfully, without pressure, in a choir environment can do for people is at the core of My Pop Choir.
How it all started....
In the fall of 2011, Jacqueline Curtis, founder of My Pop Choir, had a vision of a group of community-based choirs for adults who loved to sing pop, rock, and R&B. Since there was nothing like it in Canada and given Jackie's love of music, she designed an all inclusive popular music choir for absolutely anyone who loves to sing!
