Folk music, Singing for wellbeing and nature connection
Philippa lovers to share singing the way she learned it from many wonderful song sharers, folk singers and vocal coaches; teaching by ear, seeking an emotional and physical connection to the music. Philippa is also a nature connection guide and infuses her song sharing with invitations to witness the seasons and sing with the more-than-human world. We sing lots of music you might call folk, but equally we love an eclectic mix of sound-worlds.
Philippa enjoys writing her own song arrangements and directs the Wild Choir in Dorking, thriving and friendly choir of about 40 singers. We sing outside in the woods during the summer and enjoy musical collaborations with local musicians. Philippa has also been the musical director of Shakti Sings Choir, Singing Mamas choirs in East Surrey, a Singing for Wellbeing choir at Sutton Women’s Centre and also runs bespoke singing workshops for companies and groups.
We are a friendly and slightly wild choir who sing strong harmony arrangements of music that you might call folk from diverse cultures and traditions. We sing to the seasons, the elements and with our hearts. All levels of singing ability are welcome and songs are taught by ear.
Sessions are lead by Natural Voice Choir leader Philippa Snell and run during term times. We meet in the beautiful Quaker Meeting House in central Dorking on Tuesdays at 7. In the summer term we sing outside in the woods. Philippa firmly believes that everyone with a voice can sing and that making music together is connecting, uplifting and good for the soul.
Tuesday evenings at 7pm
