************************************
During the pandemic we moved our Singing Tree Classes online following guidance from the Natural Voice Network. The Singing Tree group was facilitated by Steve Babe. The sessions were informal focussing on singing for well being. they start with a few physical and vocal warm-ups before moving on to singing. The songs are mostly simple traditional songs from around the world, including rounds. Some of these may already be familiar, but others will be taught. There was also be a musical game or two. You can also watch our introductory video to get a sense of the group.
Everything will be taught be ear – no need to read sheet music – no auditions – no solos – no previous musical experience necessary – shy and secret singers welcome.
Join the Croydon Community Choir Facebook Group to keep updated.
“You’ve definitely got a gift of helping us to bring out what’s inside of us, whatever is hidden – any musical talents, singing.” – Linda
