The Freight & Salvage Women's Singing Circle!
Singing in a circle is powerful. In a fun atmosphere, with no performance pressure, join us as we delight in the joys of sound, in a supportive space that encourages everyone to participate and stretch. Find your voice in the context of a nurturing group if you are a beginner, and build on your skills if you are comfortable singing but would love the opportunity to gain more confidence to experiment vocally.
This course is for any women interested in learning more about singing. No previous musical experience is required.
- Back to the Basics!
- Learn wonderful warm-ups
- Relax your body while strengthening your singing
