SINGING
Cycles
Workshops

At our Friday Singing, experience the dynamics of group singing. Participants will engage in basic warm-up vocal exercises, explore singing in a different language, and navigate the nuances of singing within a larger group. We'll collaboratively work on harmonies and touch upon solo singing. Instead of delving into technicalities, the focus will be on the simple satisfaction that songs and using our voices can bring. Each month, there will be different styles and genres of music leading to a live performance with the lead artist(s) at our Saturday Mingling, every 4th Saturday of each month at 6pm. 

 

You can choose to join us for the entire year or pick a specific monthly series that captures your interest. ​

AGE GROUP | All Ages - Children under 12 are welcome when accompanied by an adult

FREE ADMISSION | REGISTRATION REQUIRED | NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED
