Winter Wassailing
Oct 26th-New Year’s

Starts Oct. 26th 2024
ASHLAND, OREGON
Free

Join us for Winter Wassailing in partnership with Rogue World Music. Folk traditions like Wassailing were born out of a time when all people sang as part of daily life. We invite you to come experience singing in community, lifting each other up with our voices, making a joyful noise!

We will meet for 5 weeks to learn Winter, Christmas, New Year’s and traditional Wassailing songs. Each session will begin with gentle exercises to warm up  our voices. All people are welcome, whether or not you think you can sing. All ages are welcome. All voices are welcome.

With music in our hearts and rhythms in our feet we will serenade the community, first in two public street events and later going door to door offering blessings of health and happiness for the New Year. I hope you can join us. Bring your family.

Past Events

Uncovering the Voice Workshop Series
Session 2: Sound Leading

SEPTEMBER 14th, 2024
Near ASHLAND, OREGON
$75-$150 Sliding Scale

Tend the seed of your voice and hear it grow! Like Yoga for the soul, these meditative and playful singing exercises build inner flexibility and resilience, supporting your voice to feel relaxed and open while uncovering its full potential. 

Session Two of our Uncovering the Voice Workshop Series focusses on “Sound Leading” or learning how to use the natural resonance of our body as instrument so the sound flows through us with no effort, force, or pushing. We will continue to build on the foundation we created in Session One: Instrument Building.

If you missed Session One you can still join by taking a private lesson or group review class before Sept 14th to learn the basics of deep, relaxed breathing that is the foundation of Uncovering the Voice.
