Singers Workshops in Paris

# You're invited to a 2h Circle Song Session!

Come join the fun and explore your musical vocabulary by making a song at the moment.

Circle songs are about group improvisational singing, inspired by Bobby McFerrin's circle songs. In short, it means singing together and creating music as we go along (with some guidelines).

It is a beautiful experience, where you get to sing with others, connect with your sound, and practice listening and singing at the same time, and through improvisation you learn to sing more freely.

There are no mistakes, just explorations.

In this session, we will play with some rhythms and do more improvisational games. I bring something new in each session, to keep things interesting and give you something new to think about! ;)

No preparation nor experience is necessary - just show up and be open!
