Rise Up, Songbirds

Community Singing workshops, integrating accessible call and response singing in the aural /oral tradition, breath work and creative visualization.

This safe, sweet circle of sanguine song is for all ages, experience levels and orientations. I will teach you breath work and songs for living in an accessible call and response style. All songs are taught in the aural /oral tradition; the way our wise ancestors would have done since the dawn of humanity. If you find yourself humming a tune under your breath, or only in private, I invite you to let that song OUT into the world! Be brave! Music wants you back.

What I believe: We all have a voice unique to us. Everyone can sing. We all have a fundamental human right to raise our voices in song and to build community engagement through singing together.

What science tells us: Singing in a group releases feel good endorphins and is good for us!

What you will learn:

• We will focus on breath work, learning how to use our whole bodies as singing machines.
• We will learn how to make improvised, layered and spontaneous songs, working together as a group.
• We will learn songs from a variety of traditions and from diverse cultural backgrounds.
• I will share stories about the origins of the songs I teach to honor its history.
• I will facilitate the practice of learning through the art of listening (Aurally and orally) and through creative visualization.
• We will learn harmonies and sing in a congregational style, with room to flex your musical creativity.


This is a safe environment to learn in. All you need for musical experience is a willingness to sing and learn. Bring a friend or make a friend. All welcome.
