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, and at actions, like Singing Resistance Marin events. Then we invite passers-by to step into our circle, and we sing community-singing songs that we learn in 5 minutes or less!
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!
Open-to-Everyone Big Sing with Ríomas!
Come sing at our Joyful Voices Chorus’ Big Sing on Saturday, March 7th, 4:00-6:00 in San Anselmo!
Our 40-member choir will teach a song or two to open the event, and then we’ll turn things over to one of our very favorites, Ríomas! (previously known as Shireen Amini)
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!
We’re organizing! Join Us and sing truth to power!
Inspired by our friends at Singing Resistance and Singing Resistance in Minneapolis/St. Paul, we’re organizing singing actions here in Marin.
If you’re already on Marv’s email list, you’ll be the first to know about opportunities to collaborate with us. And, you can follow Singing Resistance Marin on Insta. Let’s do this!
