sing in community
Love to sing?
In the car, on a walk, or in the shower? Are you looking for community? Then our non-auditioned community choir, our drop-in song circle, and our free pop-up choir are for you! Sing easy-to-learn songs in gorgeous harmony with us — all taught by ear, no music to read, no singing experience needed. With no pressure or perfectionism about our singing! We allow our voices to emerge and blend just as they are.
All voices are welcome
your voice is needed!
“We believe that singing is everybody’s birthright. For thousands of years all over the world people have sung — to express joy, celebration and grief, to aid healing, to accompany work, devotion and the rituals of life — without worrying about having a “good” voice or “getting it right”. Singing has been a part of life, a way of binding communities…Creating an accepting community is an essential element of our approach: a community where singing together is a natural experience that is open and accessible to all.”
— Frankie Armstrong and the Natural Voice Network

Free Pop-Up Choirs
Musical flashmobs that spread the joy of singing together! We show up at public events, like farmers’ markets, and at actions, like Singing Resistance Marin events. Then we invite passers-by to step into our circle, and we sing community-singing songs that we learn in 5 minutes! Come for some or all of the songs!
Saturday, August 29th, 10:30am-12:00pm, in front of the Belvedere-Tiburon Library for worldwide Play Music on the Porch Day!
the return of the amazing Debbie Nargi-Brown!
She’s back! We are over-the-moon-excited to welcome back one of our very favorites, Debbie Nargi-Brown, as Guest Songleader at our open-to-everyone Big Sing!
The choir will teach a juicy song or two, and then we’ll turn things over to Debbie, who will bring her beautiful soulfulness, her abundant kindness, and her rockin’-let’s-dance energy to an uplifting afternoon of song and community.
4:00-6:00 on Sunday, October 25th — come co-create the magic!
