Parksville Humble Harmony Song Circle - OPEN HOUSE

Are you unsatisfied with singing alone in the car?
Do you miss singing in community (but not a formal choir)?
Would you rather learn to follow your ear than read music?

## Share The Magic of Community Singing!

Humble Harmony is a fun and informal community singing group, like a community choir but without the pressure to perform, or follow sheet music. Drop in to our OPEN HOUSE and see if you love it!

• Share your voice in a welcoming community group based purely on the joy of singing together in harmony, imperfectly.
• Sing inspiring, uplifting and healing songs, world music, sea shanties, and songs of peace and hope.
• Learn to harmonize by ear, and “wing it”. No experience necessary.
• Explore your range and try different parts; no-one is pigeon-holed into an assigned section.
• Enjoy vocal play, songs with actions, and simple body percussion. Chairs are provided but we often like to stand and move around the room - as you like.
• Have a cup of ginger-lemon tea during the 10-minute break, and get to know each other.

## Where and When?

Our Parksville group meets on Thursdays from 3:30 - 5:10pm at the beautiful McMillan Arts Centre - oh the art, and the acoustics! (We also have two Nanaimo groups, Monday afternoons and Tuesday evenings).

Our "Late Fall" Season is six weeks, starting with an open house in the first week (Oct. 30) - come and experience the magic! All voices are welcome.

For the remaining five weeks, we will be a "members only" group, which will allow us to get to know the songs, create musical and social cohesion, and enrich the singing experience for everyone. If you'd like to join after week one, please contact me directly.

## Cost: Sliding Scale*

*SLIDING SCALE: is meant to welcome people of diverse backgrounds and economic access. Please consider your positionality and choose the sweet spot that is both generous and affordable for you.

• Open House week 1: By donation (or included in membership)
• Membership for the 6-week season: $75 - 150 includes access to all three locations; some folks come twice a week.

There's no pressure to sign up- the open house is a chance to simply share the joy of singing in harmony!
