Join me, Annie Schlaefer, and Liz Rog to learn and practice together the tools of community songleading. We will touch on many of the skills involved in successfully getting other folks singing including: teaching in a clear call & echo style, picking the right song for the moment, finding a good starting pitch, showing the rhythm and melody in your body, building confidence, and modeling joyful and welcoming humility.

Join with community on Sunday, December 21 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm for a Midwinter Celebration, a neighborhood walk filled with light, song, poetry, and shared warmth. We’ll start at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, move together through the heart of Longfellow, I will lead some singing somewhere in there… and end at Moon Palace Books & Pangea World Theater for warm drinks and connection. It’s a moment to slow down, be outside together, and feel the season in a new way.
