https://www.singwithmarv.com/s...Love to sing while you're driving? On a walk? In the shower? Then
this joyful, soulful, uplifting community choir is for you! Our choir
is:
- Easy to join in and sing because singing experience is never
needed, and, because all songs are taught by ear, call-and-repeat-style, there's no music to read!
- Non-audition, non-performative, and anti-perfectionistic.
- Welcoming, accepting, and inclusive. We create a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative space that's supportive for all, especially if you're feeling nervous.
- SO. MUCH. FUN.
So...what kinds of songs do we sing?
- Led by Marv Zauderer,
we sing short-form, non-religious, easy-to-learn songs mostly sourced
from the modern community singing movement -- unison songs, chants,
rounds, layer songs, and 2-, 3-, and 4-part
harmony songs. With the occasional old favorite, too -- even a sea
shanty!
- Songs are selected for their ability to rejuvenate, soothe, uplift and inspire! Songs of belonging, songs of healing, songs of hope, songs of joy.
And this season, instead of drop-in, we're doing a 7-week community choir, which, although similar in most ways to our drop-in song circle, brings you unique benefits that come from being part of a consistent group:
- Some of our songs can be juicier, richer songs that take parts of 2-3 successive evenings to learn. So juicy!
- We get to co-create and experience a deeper feeling of community with each other!
- Although there's no need to practice the songs between evenings, there will be practice tracks posted online for each part of every song if you'd like to practice.
- The 7th week, Sunday Sept 29, we'll again be holding a Big Sing
in San Anselmo -- a wonderful celebration of singing together and
building community! This is NOT a performance -- we'll invite family and
friends and the community, Marv will teach a couple songs that we've been
working on (choir members vote in advance on which ones), and a VERY
special guest, to be announced shortly, will teach the rest from their
huge repertoire! This Big Sing is going to be amazing! (Check out our YouTube channel and our Photo Gallery for videos and photos of last season's Big Sing.)
Here are some of the comments from singers in last season's Joyful Voices Chorus:
- "Marv's style of teaching was one of the best things about the chorus: his ease that let me feel at ease about not having to get it right, his positivity, his play, his energy, and his effort to want things to work for us all."
- "It was very uplifting -- we felt inspired and happier every single time."
- "It touched my heart and soul!"
Sliding scale; try it FREE once if you haven't sung with Marv before, August 21 or August 28.
