Rise Up Singing — Women's "Choir" (8 Weeks)

with Jane Lewis and Katherine Wheatley

Experience the joy of making music together! This women's group will meet for eight weeks and sing a selection of songs (a mix of folk, traditional & modern), learning melodies and harmony parts.

"Choir" is in quotation marks because we are more fun than formal. Our main goal is to sing lots, and to enjoy ourselves. No auditions, no reading music — we'll be learning by ear, though we may provide basic notation for some songs for those who are interested.

Women's group
Monday evenings, 7-9 pm, starting February 27, 2012*

*Please note: there will be NO group on Easter Monday.

Cost: $195
Location: 238 Kathleen St., Guelph
Registration: Visit the All Together Now registration page

Songwriting Boot Camp (8 Weeks)

with Katherine Wheatley

Need some inspiration and motivation to write? In this exclusive group (7 spots only), Katherine will provide a creative environment for writing songs and learning about the craft of songwriting. In addition to lyric and melody writing exercises, she'll give you songwriting assignments. And she'll pair you up and ask you to co-write songs. Each participant will get two short private sessions with Katherine. There'll be performance tips, too. On the final evening, everyone will perform the songs they've written during the workshop, and celebrate the new additions to their songwriting portfolio!

Co-ed group
Tuesday evenings, 7:30-9 pm, starting March 6, 2012

Cost: $225
Location: TBA Guelph
Registration: Visit the All Together Now registration page

The Joy of Singing (6 Weeks)

with Jane Lewis

Singing can lift your spirits, reduce stress, build confidence, and strengthen your immune system. It's good medicine, and good fun. For six weeks, we will meet and join our voices in sound and song. This group will focus on fun warmups, chanting, and songs, and you'll learn melodies and harmony parts. Most importantly, we'll share in the heart-warming experience of singing together. Return attendees to the group are very welcome, as are new folks who just want to SING! No experience necessary.

Co-ed group
Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9 pm, starting March 21, 2012

Cost: $125(+hst) by March 14. $140 (+hst) thereafter.
Location: 79 Schneider St. Kitchener, (in Victoria Park)
