Hi Philip - I've received an email about the 23 October workshop, which I'd love to book on to - but there is no link on the Art of Music page for an RSVP. I'm sure one will be up really soon - so I look forward to seeing you on 23 October. mmc

You're not Philip. He's a taller man, with a blue hat.

Hi Philip! Congrats on your new Meetup Group! Sounds like you'll be able to create a wonderful community to get together and sing! What a great way to stay motivated, share ideas and feedback, and network with others! I work at Meetup, so feel free to drop me a line if there's anything I can help you with.

You should also check out our Help center when you get a chance. It's a great place to start with any questions you might have: http://www.meetup.com/help/. Take care!

Organizer:

Singers Anonymous is a safe, informal group of vocalisers who enjoy sound, voice, rhythm and music to release stress, clear the mind and build community. It’s not a choir, but a playshop, with exercises, improvisations and songs blending into a rich mix of creative sound. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, energised and uplifted, with mind and body still and peaceful. It’s deep, and fun.

Open to all levels of experience, ‘beginners’ are especially welcome. It’s about participation in a group, rather than individual performance. Uncertain singers can remain anonymous until your confidence grows, while more experienced vocalisers can shine in a supportive group. I balance musical and vocal awareness and discipline with the freedom to discover and explore your own, unique expression.

In a typical session we will do:
- stretches, movement & breathing to loosen and energise the body.
- voice warm-ups to develop technique, creativity, flexibility & power.
- free improvisation and sound-making to express our feelings bring the group together. We also sing simple songs and improvise with them.
- toning, sound meditations, sacred chants and world music from different traditions, countries and cultures - deep, beautiful & entrancing.
- group harmony singing - popular songs from any genre or era: Jazz, Pop, Soul, Blues, Gospel, Spirituals, Folk, 50’s, 60’s,70’s. Any kind of music which is energising, calming, inspiring, fun, beautiful, happy or uplifting !

It’s an opportunity to learn about energy and creativity and about getting into a flow of listening, responding, communicating and expressing different parts of yourself via spontaneous and meaningful musical interactions.

Singers Anonymous is about more than singing & voicework; it’s about using your voice as a tool for personal growth & creative self-expression. Each individual voice in a group of kindred spirits contributes to the whole sound community, creating a healing vocal workout for mind, body and spirit.
