I really miss singing a LOT, but these days, our schedules are just nutty. Between real estate, family commitments, doctor appointments (a full time job all to itself now that we’re, ahem, older), and social engagements, there’s just no time left for self care. But a one-day choir? Now this is a commitment to which I can agree!

“No auditions. No Commitment. No need for perfection.”

My friend and I have signed up for the May 18th “Easy On Me” One-Day Sing in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and AND I AM SO EXCITED I CAN’T STAND IT! I’m singing Soprano 2, and she’s doing Alto 1, so we can practice together in the meantime, which is a joy all on its own. The way it works is this. Once you make your donation (suggested donation is $22) , they send you practice tracks and sheet music. Then on the day, we all “play some introductory games, explore the group’s sound, shape the song phrase by phrase, and discuss the meaning of the song. Laughing, playing, discovering, and tuning in.” Yes, please!
