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 only try-it-freE Night!
Never been a member of our Joyful Voices Chorus community choir? You can try it FREE, only on Wednesday, February 4th, 7:00-8:30pm in San Anselmo.
Marv will be leading for the first time this season, and we’ll be learning songs from — and for! — Minneapolis as community singing spreads through their city in harmony and resistance.
As always in Marv’s groups, you don’t need any singing experience and there’s no music to read. With a whole bunch of warm and wonderful people! Come co-create the magic!
