A community gathering where we play with song and sound. I draw from a curated library of 50+ community songs that I’ve learned from other song leaders and artists, including some of my originals. Based on the experience of the group (all levels welcome!) we may sing simple chants, layered harmonies, multi-part rounds, and explore vocal improvisation. Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own level, and we always start with playful warm-ups and vocal exercises to help open voices and lean into the space. My teaching style is lighthearted and encouraging. I show participants it’s okay to mess up, improvise, and playfully explore their voices without pressure.
