Acapella harmony choir leading
I have been a member of the Natural Voice Network since 2010, which was around the time that I started to co-lead a choir called Sing The World. I’m now running ‘Heartfelt Harmony’, and we meet weekly on Wednesday evenings.
Sharing songs, harmonies and wonderful words bring a creative side to my life that uplifts me and I know that choir members feel uplifted too.
My passion for singing in community choirs started in my late twenties when I got together with a group of friends in Newbury to share songs for the love of it. We also performed locally at birthdays and at other events such as Green Party and Friends of the Earth gatherings. We eventually grew in number and hired a hall to sing in, we also hired a Natural Voice Practitioner from Oxford to lead the group. My portfolio of songs gradually grew from attending this and many other workshops and singing camps all over England and I gained in confidence by occasionally leading songs in this earlier group from about 2004.
I believe that singing is something that everyone can join in with and that it is beneficial to health and well -being to sing regularly. I really enjoy the wonderful singing communities that I am part of, including the wonderful Natural Voice Network.
Heartfelt Harmony meets weekly on Wednesdays – the dates for the Autumn Term 2025 are:
17th, 24th September
1st,8th,15th 22nd October (no singing on 29th October)
5th,12th,19th,26th November
3rd, 10th,17th December
Songs will be taught by ear, so there is no need to read music. There will be simple songs in 3 or 4 part harmony and rounds that we can learn quickly and enjoy straight away and longer songs that will be built up over several weeks. We will sing songs from near and far to ground, connect, nurture and inspire us, all in wonderful acapella harmony.
Wednesday evenings in term time 7.30pm - 9 pm
