sing in community
Love to sing?
In the car, on a walk, or in the shower? Are you looking for community? Then our non-auditioned community choir, our drop-in song circle, and our free pop-up choir are for you! Sing easy-to-learn songs in gorgeous harmony with us — all taught by ear, no music to read, no singing experience needed. With no pressure or perfectionism about our singing! We allow our voices to emerge and blend just as they are.
All voices are welcome
your voice is needed!
“We believe that singing is everybody’s birthright. For thousands of years all over the world people have sung — to express joy, celebration and grief, to aid healing, to accompany work, devotion and the rituals of life — without worrying about having a “good” voice or “getting it right”. Singing has been a part of life, a way of binding communities…Creating an accepting community is an essential element of our approach: a community where singing together is a natural experience that is open and accessible to all.”
— Frankie Armstrong and the Natural Voice Network

Free Pop-Up Choirs
Musical flashmobs that spread the joy of singing together! We show up at public events, like farmers’ markets, invite passers-by to step into our circle, and sing community-singing songs that we learn in 5 minutes. And it’s always FREE! So come join us for one, some, or all of the songs!
Saturday, January 17th, 10:15-11:00am under the big tent at the fabulous Marin Country Mart (Larkspur Landing) farmers’ market, 2 minutes off Highway 101!
Come Sing at our Open-To-anyone Opening Night!
Our Joyful Voices Chorus invites you to our special drop-in Opening Night — you don’t have to be a member of our choir to sing with all of us and Guest Songleader Heather Houston! Welcome in!
Heather is a truly extraordinary community choir director, songwriter, recording artist, women’s vocal empowerment coach, and worldwide leader in the community singing movement. Here’s a video of Heather in action.
We are SO lucky to host a rare visit by one of the greats. Come co-create the magic!
