Second Fall Session - Everyone Welcome Community Choir

Fall is a time of ingathering and taking comfort in the fullness of the season – what better way to celebrate and renew community than through the joy of singing with others, under the tutelage of the ever-fabulous teacher (and musician) Anne Weiss at the Everyone Welcome Community Choir? Get a flavor for the Choir from Oregonian Columnist Margie Boule's column at http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/margie_boule/index.ssf?/base/living/1224635110175800.xml&coll=7

If you sing in the shower, if you want to add your voice to a community song, this is the one for you! The Everyone Welcome Choir is a singing class and choir rolled into one. Learn breath control, tone, pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm; and strengthen individual and group singing skills. Sing diverse styles of music (gospel, folk, classical, African, European, Latin American, etc, etc!) in a supportive, encouraging, non-judgmental atmosphere where the #1 return reason is FUN.

Both experienced and inexperienced singers are welcome - any age (kids too, as long as they have an adult in tow). Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your enemies and make them into friends, bring songs you would love to sing!
