A group for those who already have some experience with natural singing and want to develop their voice and repertoire in a chamber, informal setting. We work with traditional songs from various cultures, focusing more on details than in the beginner group.
Each meeting includes body and voice warm-up, followed by learning melodies by ear – without sheet music, in the spirit of natural singing. Singing together strengthens the voice, ear and mindfulness, and also brings great satisfaction. You don't need musical education – what matters is willingness and openness.
Who is it for?
༄ For those who have attended our workshops or other vocal workshops before.

༄ Note! This is not a "professional" group and musical education is not needed at all.
