Central Marin Singers Drop-In Choir -- Summer '24 Season

*** Thank you to the 65+ singers who sang with us during our drop-in Winter Season '23, the 35 members of our Spring '24 Joyful Voices Chorus community choir series, and all 72 singers who sang together at our Spring '24 Big Sing! ***

TL;DR: Although our weekly drop-in choir normally meets Wednesday nights 7:00-8:30 in San Anselmo, we're temporarily meeting outdoors, next one is Sunday, July 21, 4:00-5:30 outdoors at Santa Margarita Valley Park in San Rafael. Click the orange Get Tickets button to reserve your seat.

Do you love to sing? While you're driving, on a walk, or in the shower? Then this drop-in choir is for you! Our choir is:

• Easy to join in and sing because singing experience is never needed, all songs are taught by ear, there's no music to read, and you never have to have attended a previous evening
• Non-audition, non-performative, and anti-perfectionistic
• Welcoming, accepting, and inclusive. We create a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative space that's nurturing and supportive for all, especially if you're feeling nervous.
• SO. MUCH. FUN.

So...what kinds of songs do we sing?

• We sing contemporary, non-religious, community-singing songs -- unison songs, chants, rounds, layer songs, and 2-, 3-, and 4-part harmony songs.
  
• Songs are selected for their ability to rejuvenate, soothe, uplift and inspire!
  
• Feel free to check out our YouTube page or our website for videos and audio of us singing together, and our Song Library, which has every song we've ever sung.

Here are some of the comments from singers in past seasons:

• "The love and connection and magic in the room last night filled my spirit. Our voices were amazing!"
• "Marv has an easy upbeat teaching style that enables quick grasp of the words and melodies. Good vibe with everyone. Simple but engaging songs."
  
• "I left feeling so nurtured by the wonderful camaraderie we all had with each other, and by your way of teaching us these heartfelt and loving songs that are filled with positivity and hope!"
• "Thank you for reawakening the love of singing in me."
• "I loved it, can't wait for more!"

The details:

• Sunday, July 21, 4:00-5:30 outdoors at Santa Margarita Valley Park in San Rafael, on De La Guerra Road, not far from Scotty's Market in Terra Linda. We'll be under a big shady tree; bring something to sit on (I'll be sitting on a blanket), a hat, sunscreen, and water. There are bathrooms there, and lots of street parking.
  
• Until further notice, the following is NOT happening, although that could change at any moment: [We're in our usual huge Duncan Hall auditorium space at the church in San Anselmo Wednesday evenings, June 19th-26th & July 24th-August 7th, 7:00-8:30. We'll have some fans/doors/windows open for airflow and the massive heating system going to keep us warm if need be.]
  
• Please don't attend if you have any symptoms, even if you think they're allergy-related. Our COVID policy is required reading before you attend.
  
• If you haven't sung in any of my groups before, you can try it once FREE.
  
• Sliding scale cost: $25 Supporting, $20 Standard, $15 Supported, kids under 18 (with accompanying adult) free.
• All voices are welcome. We have many new singers with us every week!
  

Come and co-create the magic of singing in community! Reserve your seat by clicking the orange Get Tickets button -- I hope to sing with you soon!
