Workshops

Jamii’s Singing workshops invite participants to explore voice, sound, and shared expression in a welcoming, community-centred setting. Each month features a guided singing series led by a professional artist, drawing from different musical traditions, styles, and cultural practices. 

 

Singing workshops may include group singing, vocal warm-ups, rhythm and breath work, listening, and creative exploration. Sessions are designed to be accessible and low-pressure, welcoming people of all experience levels, including those who may not see themselves as singers. 

 

Participants can choose to attend all sessions in a month to build confidence and connection over time, or register for a single session to experience the workshop. Registration is required for each individual session, and spaces are limited. 

 

Workshops are free to attend. Registration opens on the 10th of the previous month at 12:00 AM. 

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

FREE ADMISSION | REGISTRATION REQUIRED | NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED
