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 or less!
Saturday, January 17th, 10:15-11:00am under the big tent at the fabulous Marin Country Mart (Larkspur Landing) farmers’ market, 2 minutes off Highway 101!
Try our community Choir free, only on May 6th!
The Spring Season of our non-auditioned Joyful Voices Chorus community choir is underway! Missed Opening Night with Guest Songleader Katie Sontag? No problem! Marv’s leading on May 6th, when we’ll begin learning our core songs for the season, and if you haven’t been a member of our choir before, you can try it FREE that night!
As always, you don’t need any singing experience and because all songs are taught by ear, there’s no music to read. It’s just plain fun! So come on out and join a whole bunch of warm and wonderful humans and sing!
Join singing resistance and sing truth to power!
Inspired by our friends at Singing Resistance and the Singing Resistance group in Minneapolis/St. Paul, we’ve organized Singing Resistance Marin to protect and care for our community, particularly immigrant communities — and also each other! — by singing in protest and harmony.
Join our Signal group to be informed of our singing actions!
