An introduction by Emma Dean...

Cheep Trill is a music community creating a safe environment for people to come and explore their creativity and musical expression without feeling judged. It is place to connect with people you may have never had the opportunity to meet and learn from each other.

We run a weekly choir (both Southside and Northside of Brisbane), hold music workshops, run 1:1 lessons, and put on events and performances throughout the year.

Through Cheep Trill, bands have formed, people have fallen in love, friendships have blossomed, and regular social events have been established.  It's really REALLY beautiful.

Corinne Buzianczuk is our coordinator and manager.  She is so efficient, one of our students once assumed she was an ‘app’.  Tony Dean is one of our beloved teachers and also the musical assistant and accompanist for Cheep Trill Choir.  He has a masters in Vocal Pedagogy and is one of the most talented musicians and producers in Australia. He is also my brother!

And then there’s me.  My name is Emma Dean.

I founded Cheep Trill back in 2014 because I needed a change.  I spent over a decade striving tirelessly to expose my original music to a broader audience.  I even moved to the other side of the world!  Somewhere along the way, I forgot why I fell in love with music.  After much soul searching, I remembered the reason my musical love affair began.  That reason was undeniably and unequivocally human connection.  So, at one of the lowest points in my life, I decided to move back to Brisbane and start a community choir. As you do.

And the rest is history…

Each week in our Cheep Trill choir rehearsals, people from all walks of life, backgrounds, religions, genders, ages and beliefs come together and harmonise.  This act is as profound as it is joyful, as we are forced to look beyond the things that divide us and to instead focus on the things that unite us.

We sing.  We laugh.  Sometimes we cry.  And we heal… one note at a time.
