Share The Magic of Community Singing!
Humble Harmony is a fun and informal community singing group, like a community choir but without the pressure to perform, or follow sheet music. Join us for an OPEN SING:
Share your voice in a welcoming community based purely on the joy of singing together in harmony, imperfectly.
Sing inspiring, uplifting and healing songs, world music, and songs of peace and hope.
Learn to harmonize by ear, and “wing it”. Some songs are taught in 3 or 4 harmony parts, and some are quick and easy; there are no “wrong notes”, and always room to play!
Explore your range and try different parts
Enjoy vocal play, songs with actions, and simple body percussion. Chairs are provided but we often like to stand and move around the room.
Have a cup of ginger-lemon tea during the 10-minute break, and get to know each other.
On Tuesday evenings, we are joined by April Laurie for vocal play and groovy percussion!
Our previous evening venue, Kin Hut on Departure Bay.
Where and When?
Our Tuesday evening group* meets from 7 - 8:45pm at Rotary House, 850 Third St., Nanaimo (turn onto Jinglepot Rd., and it’s at the “Serauxmen Fields”, across from the access to Buttertubs Marsh).
The March 31 OPEN SING is a drop-in event, where all are welcome to join us and learn some harmony-rich songs by ear. It’s also the first week of a six-week series (a deep-dive, members-only group running from Mar. 31 - May 5), but there is no pressure to join - just come and experience the magic!
* NOTE: There are three group options: Monday afternoons in Nanaimo, Tuesday evenings in Nanaimo, and Thursday afternoons in Parksville (details at www.sylviahumble.ca/humble-harmony). Some folks come to more than one group!
Cost:
Open Sing: by donation (or included in membership)
Membership for the 6-week season: $75 - 150**, includes access to all three locations.
**The sliding scale is meant to welcome folks of diverse backgrounds and economic access; Please consider your positionality and choose the sweet spot that feels both affordable and generous for you.
