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! Repeat students welcome!

SLIDING SCALE TUITION
Full tuition is the cost per-student of running the class. If you choose a tier below full tuition, you are receiving a discount. If you choose to make a donation in addition to full tuition, you are helping to cover the cost for students who are not able to pay the full amount.
The mid-level tier is a discounted rate for people whose household income is at or above living wage but who have limited discretionary income.
The low-level tier and the full-scholarship tier are for people whose household income is below living wage or who need extra assistance to meet their needs.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Through our fundraising efforts, we are able to offer three full scholarships per class. The full-scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering. Each student may only take one full-scholarship class at a time. Because our scholarship funding is limited, if a student selects multiple overlapping classes at the full-scholarship level, they will be disenrolled from all classes.
All sliding-scale and scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.
Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans, refund policy, and sick and inclement weather policy.
