Harmony is not just a metaphor. It is an embodied, vagus-nerve calming, emotion co-regulating, beauty-making presence. It joins the one with the many, melding, and changing the vibration of the world. It is a unique and powerful way of connecting with others that asks us to listen, trust ourselves, and support each other in ways that we don’t often get to practice. Together we’ll walk through some quick music theory basics and then learn how to hear and feel upper and lower vocal harmonies using traditional folk songs and modern bops as our framework. We’ll practice singing as a group and in smaller trios and quartets. No group singing experience is necessary, but it is recommended that you feel comfortable singing back a pitch that’s given to you in your range. All ranges welcome!
