Singing in community is a powerful source of joy, celebration, and ritual for women around the world. The expressive and metaphorical process of creating unison and harmony while joining your voice with others is a powerful way to release stress, uplift the soul, transcend the challenges we face in our daily lives, and energize our beings.

For those of you who regularly take my Art of Group Singing classes, these workshops provide a fun opportunity to sing again during the height of summer in the (air-conditioned!) circle! For those of you who have been interested in possibly taking one of my class sessions during the year, this is an opportunity to come and explore the experience of creating music and raising your voice in a circle of wonderful women!

We will create a powerful unison sound and mesmerizing harmonies through the singing of rounds, chants, and part music. All songs will be taught by ear, so sight-reading ability is not necessary. Come experience the artful creation of group sound and spirit!

She brings to her teaching a deeply rooted sense of compassion, an eclectic musical experience, a heartfelt belief in the transformative, healing power of music and a hefty love of laughter.

Class and workshop participants say:

"Thank you again for the wonderful music and your deep wisdom you have given to me. It is such a gift and I am forever grateful that I had the chance to be part of your circle."

"You brought us all to a very wonderful space. Thank you. I hope I never leave the wonder that is opened in me when I walk with you musically. Thank you for being so generous. It opens up so many possibilities in us
all."

"For now, and forever, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your wholehearted way."

"Dare I say Susan is a joy and a miracle worker, no matter what level you start out at?!"

"We both gained a great deal and are so appreciative of you, your music, your teaching style, and your unique ability to help us produce joyful sound without strain and judgment. You are such an amazing role model of how the human being is an instrument for producing sound in so many different modalities. Thank you so much for giving me the gifts of your
teaching and sharing."
