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!
Our Drop-In Song Circle Returns March 25th!
Want to sing easy-to-learn uplifting songs with a whole bunch of wonderful humans? Come learn songs in 5-15 minutes, like this one, this one, and this one, March 25th - April 15th!
As always in Marv’s groups, you don’t need any singing experience and there’s no music to read. And if you’ve never sung with Marv, you can try it FREE! We have new singers every night!
Check out our YouTube channel to see and hear us in action. And feel free to browse our Song Library to hear every song ever sung in Marv’s groups. Come co-create the magic!
We’re organizing! Join Us and sing truth to power!
Inspired by our friends at Singing Resistance and the Singing Resistance group in Minneapolis/St. Paul, we’re organizing Singing Resistance Marin to lead outdoor singing actions.
