Singing for Fun is both a forum for individuals to learn more about their own voice, and a way to build community through group singing.<\/p>\n
The workshop includes body and voice integration<\/strong>, calling in elements of Tai Chi, Yoga, and Alexander Technique, as well as dance, theater, and vocal improvisation to focus on breath and ease of movement.<\/p>\n Singers learn songs that explore the vast expression of harmony from around the world.<\/strong>\u00a0Drawing from her love of diverse melodies and rhythms, Elise might introduce a Brazilian samba, a Congolese storysong, an Italian round, or four-part harmonies from Zimbabwe. There are also lots of songs in English, including songs from the African American tradition, quirky rounds, food songs, Elise originals, and lots more!<\/p>\n All of the songs are broken down into easily learnable parts<\/strong>\u00a0and become thrilling to sing in a group. Even people who think they \u201ccan\u2019t carry a tune in a bucket\u201d in no time find themselves part of an impromptu glorious chorus.<\/p>\nSingers of all levels of experience are welcome.<\/h6>\n
Music reading is not a prerequisite.<\/h6>\n
