So You Think You Can’t Sing? is a 4-week (8 hour) course which will help you to overcome your inhibitions and learn to sing in tune in a comfortable range so that you can relax and confidently participate in choral activities with others.

This workshop is for anyone who says “I can’t sing” and would like to sing in a group.

We will coach you to love your voice, experiment with sounds and teach you easy-to-learn songs. Lots of fun, laughter and total acceptance. Singing is a simple physical activity.

Anyone who possesses the necessary body parts can play the game. Like throwing a ball, your singing muscles and reflexes can always be strengthened and coordinated to improve range and accuracy.

Even though it may feel intimidating at first, group singing is a great way to learn to sing. The support of others around you helps you to explore your own voice where you will not be heard alone as in a solo situation.

Learning to sing in a group is not just about music; it is a life-affirming experience, giving you confidence to interact with others and have fun at the same time. It can also improve your self esteem, boost your immune system and just feels good! Using a body-centered approach you and the other participants will be coached in fun listening, breathing, movement and vocal activities that will develop your own authentic singing voice.

If you really want to learn to sing you can do it. Passion and dedication to the process is all that is needed. We provide an enjoyable atmosphere of support and encouragement where you can relax and find your own voice.

There will be no solo singing!

Your active involvement in daily singing is necessary. Think of learning to ride a bike. You got on that bike every day and practiced and practiced until you felt the balance and could ride. That same energy is part of learning how to sing. If you spend 20-30 minutes every day between classes, you will progress much faster.

​Commitment to all four weeks of the course is desirable.
