Singing together in community, whether virtually or in person, always feeds our souls. It is a powerful, communal way to rededicate ourselves towards raising the vibration of love and positivity in the world, to maintain hope and vision, to support each other . . . and to encourage emotional lightness, renewal, and joy!!!

We need to keep singing!

I invite you to join me in uniting our spirits in song as we immerse in the healing power that singing provides during these deeply challenging and unsettling times we are living in. Singing helps keep us connected to our soul, soothe our anxious spirit, renew and replenish our vitality, heal our ragged hearts, and realign with the power of hope. And singing helps us envision, intend, and strengthen our resolve to create the more just world we want to live in.

I have been offering many Zoom Sings for Women since April of 2020; there has been an intimate, creative, energized and peaceful "space" and feeling as we commune together on screen. Many of us have formed a loosely configured online singing community through this pandemic -- gathering from across the country to sing! If you would like the opportunity to sing with me, or to keep singing with me -- I hope you will join me on Wednesday nights and/or occasional Mondays. My intent is for each sing to be a healing and inspirational musical experience for all of us.

DESCRIPTION 

I begin each Sing with a short energizing, centering vocal warmup, followed by leading that evening's group of songs. The experience will be akin to that of chant--I will be choosing simple, easily learnable short rounds and chants with beautiful melodies and inspiring words. Some will be upbeat and rhythmic and some will be soothing and contemplative. After doing a brief teaching of each song, we will sing them together for awhile, deepening as we go. I will be singing, and accompanying the songs on a beautiful Steinway baby grand piano. You can sing in unison with me, create your own harmonies, sing in canon with me (if we are singing a round), or improvise around me with a bass line or vocal percussion -- whatever inspires you! 

Because of the limitations of Zoom and other online formats involving the phenomenon of digital delay, we will all see each other sing together on screen, but we will not be able to hear each other--all singers will need to be muted. I will not hear you. Your experience will be singing along with me in duet and seeing each other enjoying raising our voice from our own homes. 

Come sing! May it be a healing experience for all of us!
