Each session includes breathing and vocal warm ups, a short session in sight singing, and most of all lots of singing and harmonizing. We encourage beginners as well as seasoned group singers.

Stay tuned for an update soon! TONY ELMAN is the creator of Mokale Rhythm Training and the founder/director of the Bay Area Polyrhythm Choir. He is a prolific composer of songs, rounds …

This group was started to bring carol signing to local San Francisco neighborhoods on Christmas Eve. Come one, come all - neither age nor gender matter, and the more the merrier! Anyone who knows a few carols and would like to bring holiday cheer to our locale should join. Carol sheets are provided. All levels of singers are welcome though some knowledge of the most popular carols does help as does comfort with sight-singing (that is, singing music from a sheet, without accompaniment).
Lets sing inspirational, simple chants, songs with simple instruments to lift our hearts, spirits and bring light to Bay area events. Meet at my beautiful store and garden in Pt. Richmond, Flowersong Store and Sacred Garden on Tuesday evenings.

Hi, there! I am eager to put together a dynamite ensemble of 8-16 adult singers for SATB musical arrangements. Are you "up" for some serious hard work and performance fun in our community? The East Bay Singers Group would sing a capella and accompanied music. I am imagining the ensemble performing a variety of styles and perhaps some choreographed movement that might be appropriate to the style of music (not complex dancing, in other words, so no worries!). My goal would be to put together …
Weekly singing of simple (and increasingly sophisticated) 3- and 4-part harmonies. Big fun. As Brian Eno says: "I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor." http://tinyurl.com/5wv9pl There are practice tracks and sheet music under More > Files. Each week we'll publish one song that we're going to learn, so that anyone who attends can p …

I have found that chanting helps me connect to the Source of all Creation within myself, relieves stress, and brings a profound calm and centeredness. It is a way to sing our prayers o the Divine. In this chant circle, I will lead sacred chants from several spiritual traditions, including Hindu, American Indian, and Pagan chants. We will also create a beautiful improvised group chant together. No chanting or singing experience required. Open to all adults who enjoy the sacredness and beauty of …

… My best memories of travel were me and my brother in the back seat of my family's car taking road trips from Illinois to Florida, California/East Coast, or exploring ports on dad's boat along the Illinois river, Michigan City sand dunes, Grand Haven, Michigan artist colony, Holland, Michigan's singing fireworks bridge. When on car trips, mom would pull out a Coleman camp stove and make coffee on a picnic table, how embarassing, but memorative. I'll never forget the time in Michigan we had to eva …
