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

All In Song Circle
Our weekly drop-in song circle in San Anselmo, where (as in all of Marv’s groups) no singing experience is needed, there’s no music to read, all the easy-to-learn songs are taught by ear, and all voices are welcome. It’s SO. MUCH. FUN. Try it FREE!
Starts April 16; Guest Songleader Lea Morris on April 23!

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 songs that we learn in 5 minutes. And it’s always FREE!
Sunday, April 20th, 11:00-12:00, at the Fairfax Earth Day Celebration, Bolinas Park
Melanie Demore is coming to Marin! Come sing!
Melanie DeMore, perhaps the most revered and inspirational songleader in North America, joins our Joyful Voices Chorus community choir for an uplifting, drop-in Big Sing!
Marv will teach two of the songs the choir has been working on this season, and then Melanie will work her magic.
So come sing easy-to-learn songs in gorgeous harmony with us (or just hum or listen, no pressure!) on April 5th — this event may sell out, so snag your tickets while you can!
