IMPULSE: SINGING, RHYTHM, AND PLAY

September 2026

Tuesday, September 8, and Monday, September 14, 21, and 28 from 7 PM to 8:30 PM

Facilitator: Natalie Fasheh

This singing workshop series is part of Jamii’s September Cycle and reflects the 2026 theme, It Feels Right. ImPulse centres song and rhythm as tools for creative freedom, rest, and connection, encouraging participants to trust instinct and expression over polish.


Participants explore singing, rhythm, and simple improvisation through playful prompts and shared musical exploration. The workshops invite humour, spontaneity, and presence, allowing voice and body to move together without expectation. The emphasis is on access, joy, and collective expression rather than performance.


These workshops are open to participants of all experience levels. No prior musical or singing experience is required. Participants are encouraged to engage in ways that feel playful, supportive, and true to themselves.


Workshops are free for participants. Registration is required, and space is limited.


Support free community arts

Jamii’s workshops are offered free so that cost is never a barrier to participation. If you’re able, you can help pay it forward by donating through Jamii’s website. Your support helps keep community arts accessible and welcoming for everyone.


Jamii’s September Cycle is sponsored by Canada Council for the Arts, Toronto Arts Council, TD Ready Commitment, Rama Gaming House, and Charitable Gaming.
