Join with community to discover, explore, and expand your natural voice, with fresh, physical ways into strengthening your confidence, clarity, and listening.

Drawing from my love of diverse melodies and rhythms, we'll dive into songs from global and local repertoires, and maybe even a Polyrhythmic Multi-Lingua Musical Collage. We’ll sing Rounds & Partner Songs, Bobby McFerrin style Circle Songs, and in-the-moment Improvised Creations.

~ Singers of all abilities, styles, and experience are welcome ~
~ No music reading required. ~

Sliding Scale $15-45 (please be affordable & generous)

My darling friend and musical companion Joyce Brookshre left this plane in 2017, but her music lives on! And now the Cabbagetown community, where she was born and raised, is honoring her legacy with the Joyce Brookshire Amphitheater! I'm looking forward to singing Joyce's songs with Jeff & Johnny Mosier, Mick Kinney, and Barbara Panter, Come sing with us!

All Singing: The Elise Witt Songbook

58 original songs arranged for solo and community singing

“Elise’s provocative songs ask you to think, to act, to enjoy, to fully engage in life. She invites you to stretch not only your voice, but your expectations and assumptions.”

~ Terry Garthwaite, Joy of Cooking, Natural Rhythms, composer, concert artist

"A beautiful and breathtaking songbook in its variety of wonderful songs, its scope of musical styles and subjects, its accessible and lovely artistic design, and its charming stories about each piece, as well as about Elise's remarkable journey through her musical life. Elise's brilliant artistry shines through these pages!"

~ Joanne Hammil, composer, performer, choral director

Amazing how words can have such wildly different meanings in different contexts. Some people get so scared at the sound of "Revolution," "Conservative," "Radical," or "Liberal"... Let's get back down to the ROOTS of our language...
