Additional information

Sharing expression through music is something I find uniquely connecting and fulfilling, and what I love about harmony singing is that anyone can join in. We’re each born with a unique voice and it thrills me to witness moments when old “I can’t sing” beliefs begin to unravel and a voice is freshly released. Why does this seem so important? Maybe because gathering our voices as a group conjures a joy and meaning reaching beyond the immediacy of consumption.

My teaching is clear, simple and accessible. I teach by ear so no musical training is needed.

I carefully select and research songs, bringing a body of context and connection to make sure what we sing maintains connection to roots.

Testimonials:

“Ironically given the exquisite way that Clara articulates and brings to life her vision, I’m compoletely lost for words by the experience… Coming here feels like coming home, when the trappings of every day life are released…transformative and unforgettable.” Olly

“From someone who knew I couldn’t sing I’m now singing out loudly… Clara brings that powerful connection with the land, rain, trees – the whole within which we live – that most of us hardly notice any more. This is part of the change in consciousness that humanity must have to navigate our changing world.” Judy

“This singing is the forming of community, deep listening…It’s a rare and precious experience.” Fay

“Clara teaches in the mopst beautiful way, slowly breaking the song down until it finds its way into your voice and your heart.” Sarah

“Much thanks and love for a life-affirming celebration as we go into Autumn.” Viv
