Choir Leaders' Tech Circle, brought to you by Rebecca Ballard
You don't have to figure out the tech on your own
A circle of choir and song leaders working through the same tech worries, together. A live monthly session with Rebecca, a community that gets it, and plain-English courses in Canva, WordPress, Facebook and email lists whenever you need them.
I'm Rebecca. Before this, I spent years teaching tech confidently to everyone from total beginners to blind and partially sighted clients, so patient, plain-English teaching isn't new to me. I'm also a choir leader myself, which means I get exactly why WordPress, Canva and mailing lists keep slipping down your to-do list. Keep reading to see how the Circle — including a monthly call with me — can take away that nagging tech headache.

You didn't start leading a choir because you wanted to become a WordPress expert.
And you shouldn't have to work it out alone at 11pm.
A website that needs updating;
a Facebook page you're not sure you're using right;
an email list you keep meaning to sort out.
It's easy to feel like you're the only choir leader wrestling with this stuff — too embarrassed to even ask.
You're really not alone. This is a circle of choir and song leaders figuring out the same things, side by side — a place to ask your questions without feeling silly, swap what's working, and get real help from me whenever you get stuck.

Stuck on something specific?
You're not on your own.
Every choir is different, and it's completely normal to have questions the courses don't quite answer. The monthly Circle Time with Rebecca session is your chance to ask about your exact situation — alongside other leaders who get it — and get a straight, jargon-free answer. If enough people are asking the same thing, it often becomes the next Self-study Guide.

Questions you might have
Is this really a community, or is it just a bunch of courses?
Both. The Circle is a genuine community of choir and song leaders you can ask questions and share with, and the courses are there whenever you want to work through something at your own pace. Most people use a mix of both.
I'm not very techy — will I be able to keep up?
Yes. Everything is explained in plain English, one step at a time, with no assumed knowledge. If you can send an email, you can follow these courses — and you'll have the Circle and Circle Time to lean on if you get stuck.
How do the courses work?
Each course is broken into short, clear lessons you work through at your own pace, whenever suits you. There's no live attendance required for the courses themselves.

What happens in a Circle Time session?
It's a live online session where you can bring whatever tech question is on your mind and get a direct answer from Rebecca — no need to have it all figured out first, and no daft questions.
What happens when a new course is added?
It's simply added to your membership at no extra cost. You won't need to pay again or sign up separately.
Rebecca will let you know by email with a link straight to it.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, there's no long-term contract. You can cancel whenever you like.
How do I pay?
You pay by card today, and the system automatically takes the next payment each month. You can cancel at any time.
When are the monthly sessions?
Generally, they will alternate between an afternoon and an evening. Everybody has a different pattern to their working week, so it may take a while for a pattern to emerge. The video calls will be recorded, so if you can't make a particular one, you can always watch the replay.
I don't lead a choir — is this still for me?
This membership is built specifically with choir and song leaders in mind, so the examples, courses and community conversations are tailored to that world. But it will work for anyone who feels a bit daunted by the tech and would like a bit of company and hand-holding.
Who is Rebecca Ballard?
For many years, I was a Technical Trainer specialising in teaching computer skills to blind and partially sighted people. It brought together two of my favourite things: technology (I'm a self-confessed gadget geek) and helping people do things they didn't think they could. I still work with visually impaired clients today, and it's some of the work I'm proudest of.
That experience taught me something that matters here too: anyone can learn to use tech confidently, if it's explained patiently, one small step at a time, with no assumptions about what you already know. That's exactly how I teach choir leaders — no jargon, no judgment, no "well, obviously you just..."
Music has always been a big part of my life, and leading singers myself has given me health, community, and (let's be honest) an excuse for even more musical geekery. So when I talk to you about your website, your mailing list, or your Canva posters, I'm not an outsider looking in — I'm one of you, who happens to also love the tech side.
The pandemic showed me how much technology could do for online business owners, and singing leaders in particular — and also how easily it can get in the way of you doing what you do best: leading your choir. That's why I built the Circle: so you get exactly the tech help you need, from someone who understands both the tech and the choir, without ever feeling silly for asking.
