Spring '24 Big Sing -- Marv Leading.jpg

sing in community

Love to sing?

In the car, on a walk, or in the shower? Are you looking for community? Then our non-audition 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

  • Joyful Voices Chorus

    Our 7-week, non-audition, community choir in San Anselmo, culminating in our community-wide Big Sing. With a consistent group, we dig into some juicier songs and deepen our feeling of community with each other.

  • 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.
