About Us

Our Approach

Voices Rock welcomes everyone, whether you’re a seasoned singer or have never performed in your life and finally want to take the leap.

Rehearsal cycles run for ten weeks and culminate in a performance at the end of the session.

Voices Rock has several Denver locations to choose from! Check out our Join Now page for locations, dates, and times.

Can’t attend every rehearsal? No problem! We provide Drop Box recordings for you to listen to at your convenience. Once you are a member and the session begins, you will receive access to our Member portal where you will find everything you need for fun and successful session!

The goal of Voices Rock is to build community, and we provide several social opportunities outside of rehearsal for our fantastic members to get to know each other. We also strive to help our community through charity and several outreach performances each year.
