West Marin Singers Choir!

West Marin Singers Choir!
*5-Week Season Tuesdays,
May 2 – June 6, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

This season we’ll be learning some more complex songs, so we can delve deeper into harmonies and layers, as well as a big selection from the many wonderful songs I carry that can be learned very quickly — with multi-part harmonies, layers (verses that interlock beautifully when sung at the same time by different sections of the choir), rounds, and unison songs, too.

I teach all these easy-to-learn, non-religious, community-singing songs line-by-line (sometimes called “call-and-echo”) — no singing experience needed, no music to read, all voices and levels welcome. Songs are selected for their ability to rejuvenate, soothe, uplift and inspire!

And, this season our choir(s) will begin taking our singing out into the community, forming a(n optional) pop-up choir at occasional public events, where our purpose isn’t performance, it’s community participation and community-buiding: we’ll be inviting passers-by to step into the circle and learn a song with us!

It is TBD whether we’ll have a pop-up this season out on the coast (let me know if you have ideas for events anywhere in Marin we could be at, unfortunately Western Weekend doesn’t work); both choirs are always welcome at every pop-up, the first of which is Saturday, May 20, at the Country Mart (Larkspur Landing) Farmers’ Market, 10:30-11:30am.

We’re in the big, warm Main Space at the Dance Palace Tuesdays 7-8:30pm starting 5/2; most of the doors will be closed, unless it’s unseasonably warm, so we’ll be much warmer in there than we were during the Fall Season!

Capacity in our 5-week series (no session 5/30) is limited to 24 people; there aren’t refunds if you have to miss a session but you’re always welcome to send someone in your place.

Our COVID policy is required reading before you attend. For more info, including a list (with links) of songs we’ve sung and quotes from people who sang with us during our previous seasons: westmarinsingers.com

Your voice is needed! Feel free to email or call with questions. I hope to sing with you soon!

Led by Marv Zauderer, who teaches easy-to-learn songs in the oral tradition — call-and-response, no need to read music! — this community song circle gives you the opportunity to see (via Zoom) and hear (via free software – Jamulus) everyone in the circle, and gives everyone the opportunity to see and hear you, too — live, without any delay! Feel the joy of singing with others again! It’s the kind of thing that so many of us have missed since the pandemic derailed community singing, right?
