What we’re about
Dear Improvisers!
This group provides a fun, nurturing, supportive space for people to connect with kindred spirits. This is a space for creative expression, a space to practice, to Sing! and hone their improvisation and/or wordless singing skills.
In the lineage of Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, Milton Mascimento, and many others, we come together to celebrate our humanity through shared sponteneous songs, musical etudes, exercises, through exploration of sounds, within and without. Mostly, to be FREE!! to fly on the wings of your hearts intent. There is no good or bad sound. Only heart songs. And we want to hear it...
Anyone who loves to sing, create, and improvise is at home here. We will learn by doing and by listening, of course. This is a safe space to play, to nurture your voice, to make things up, to experiment, to "mess up", like a child playing with watercolors, only to step back and see the beauty in the spontaneity.
The purpose of this group is to have Fun! We do this by holding a safe space for one another. We open our mouths and sing. Jump in. No judgement, within or without. Let the music, and our hearts be our guide.
