Singing for 21 minutes changes the mind and body.
We find our way to new options in the zoom room.
Singing into the moment and following where the music leads.
Accessing our inherent musicality and our own internal music libraries,
we create harmonies and edgy grooves that support artistic expression.
Making music with each other – even virtually – ignites our creativity in liberating and playful ways.
All are welcome!

Adult singing sessions are offered in small group formats. The primary focus is voicework. Goals might include developing music skills, songwriting, opening the vocal range of pitch or emotion, centering and grounding practices, clarity in personal expression and communication. Instruments might be used: voice, sruti box, Tibetan bowl, acoustic guitar, keyboard, hand percussion. Lessons are interactive, non-traditional, and process-oriented.
Family Sing for Children is music-centered and child-directed class, nurturing creativity and musicianship through exploring the elements of music: tone, melody, harmony, tempo, rhythm, and lyrics. We follow the curiosity of the child to create a rich and colorful playgrounds in which to develop mastery in several areas: listening skills (call and response, navigating a keyboard or guitar), personal expression of emotions and ideas (songwriting and musical composition), organization and impulse control (breathing, rhythm, collaboration). These and other goals can be addressed through focused musical play with voice, keyboard, guitar, and percussion. Lessons are interactive and non-traditional.
Three hour Singing Circle events are fun, community building, creative, musical, and often transformative. We move, hum, listen, interact with each other in the music and together create a series of spontaneous compositions.
Two and a half day workshops allow us to go deeper into music skill building, personal growth, professional development, and creative expression. Every workshop engages us in voice and movement exercises, active imagination, improvisation, and song.
Science confirms the physical and psychological benefits of group singing. Here’s a chance to see for yourself – “sing for yourself” – synchronize your heart beat with others, elevate endorphins, release oxytocin: the “social bonding hormone”… become a participating member of an “in tune” and “in sync” community.
These workshops are open all levels of musical training and evolve around the participants. We sing ourselves into musical landscapes using elements of music -tone, melody, harmony, rhythm, groove, language. A supportive community of singers is an essential aspect of this work.
VALIDATE the research and experience the JOY of group singing for yourself!
