AN IMPROMPTU GLORIOUS CHORUS™

4 Thursdays ~ Aug. 24 - Sept. 14
6:45 - 8:00 p.m.
@ Woodlands Garden, Decatur GA
* Play with melody, rhythm, language, harmony, vocal production, and soul connection.
* Get the sensual sense of how our voices draw on vocal wisdom from many cultures.
* Explore the rainbow of colors inherent in our voices and join with other daring singers to create vocal landscapes, soulful harmonies, and impromptu sonic masterpieces.
* We'll explore SONGS as inspiration for improvisation and creativity.
* We'll use games and exercises learned from master teachers Rhiannon, Bobby McFerrin, David Darling, Dr. Fred Onovwerosuoke, and Dr. Ysaye Barnwell.
An Impromptu Glorious Chorus™ provides a safe and supportive space
to stretch out and widen vocal horizons, and to express our authentic selves.
