Reading music is not a requirement for participation.
This one-day Songbird choir will embody practices from Musica do Circulo (Music of the Circle), a Brazilian methodology that uses improvisation, body percussion, non-verbal communication, movement and play to uncover spontaneous and joyful music that fosters a sense of community. Sing in harmony with others as you explore music that engages with themes of social justice, equity, and action across multiple styles such as pop, reggae, calypso and Brazilian. Learn to find more space in choral settings. Space for improvisation, movement, and deeper connections through music over note perfection.
