ways To Sing With Marv

(& many warm and wonderful people!)

  • Joyful Voices Chorus

    Our 7-week, non-auditioned community choir in San Anselmo, with Guest Songleader Kira Seto on drop-in, open-to-everyone Opening Night and culminating in our community-wide Big Sing with Guest Songleader Debbie Nargi-Brown. With a consistent group, we dig into some juicier songs and deepen our feeling of community with each other.

    Fall ‘26 Season: Wednesday nights Sept. 16 - Oct. 21 + Big Sing Sunday, Oct. 25. Come sing 9/16!

  • All In Song Circle

    Our weekly drop-in song circle in San Anselmo, where (as in all of Marv’s groups) no singing experience is needed, there’s no music to read, all the easy-to-learn uplifting songs are taught by ear, and all voices are welcome. It’s SO. MUCH. FUN. And… You can try it FREE!

    Summer ‘26 Season: Wednesdays, June 24th + July 29th - August 29th. Don’t miss Guest Songleader Lyndsey Scott on August 12th!

  • 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, August 29th, 10:30am-12:00pm, in front of the Belvedere-Tiburon Library for worldwide Play Music on the Porch Day!

"When everything in life presses from outside of us, we have no choice but to sing like scared children relying on their song to stop the pain, the way that fire stalls the cold. This is the secret of all spirit, why it cannot stay inside, but must be brought from within us into the world. For it is the song from within that keeps the pain of living from snuffing our lives. It is the song from within ignited, again, and again, that keeps the world going."
