Faculty Interview

Whether you have always longed to sing in a chorus or have sung in one for years, this course is open to you. Learn the basics of sight-singing, as well as rounds, chants, and arranged music by composers such as Bobby McFerrin, who creates sound effects and percussion with his voice, and Ysaye Barnwell, a member of the African American a cappella group Sweet Honey in the Rock. Join us to strengthen your voice and confidence and make a joyful noise!

Lauren Carley is the artistic director for the community choruses Variety Pack and Rhythm Society. She teaches individuals and groups and leads women’s retreats in finding one’s authentic voice through circle singing for joy, healing, and ritual.
