Sing Because.

Do you experience anxiety when singing in front of others? Does perfectionism keep you from experiencing joy, expression and playfulness in your singing?
You are not alone. Perfectionism and shame around singing leave many singers feeling like it’s impossible to share their voice in public, even though they might want to.
What I have discovered is that perfectionism softens when we learn to offer ourselves—and our voices—compassion and care.
Add to that receiving community support from fellow singers navigating the same challenges, and the possibilities are endless!
In this course, you will be accepted and supported both when you are singing, shaking like a leaf, and when you are singing with power, trust, and freedom.
This 10-week course uses the text The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown as a guide. We will read the book together, integrating discussions, reflections, practices, and discoveries from the book—as well as other resources curated by myself—into our singing explorations together.
Each class will include book discussion time, meditation and mindfulness explorations, and play-centered, messy, perfectly imperfect group singing explorations.
We will learn songs together, listen to one another, learn from one another, and grow together.
I hope you will be a part of it!
“The mix of meditations, book discussions, and singing was just right, and the length of the series provided plenty of time for the group to connect and build trust. ‘Sing Because’ truly exceeded my expectations and the experience is something I will always cherish.”
“Christina creates a safe, encouraging, and welcoming classroom environment and it’s easy to tell how deeply she cares about her students…I spent almost a decade in hiding, avoiding my craft because of feelings of inadequacy and shame surrounding my voice. After taking Christina’s Mindful Sound Course, I feel hopeful about my future as a singer.”
All the Details
When is it happening?
Registration is now closed for the Sing Because summer series. The next series will run on Thursdays, 7:00–8:30 pm, from September 18th to November 20th—so book your spot now!
What do I need to bring?
Your awesome self.
Your copy of The Gifts of Imperfection.
I recommend getting your copy as soon as possible and diving into the book when you register.But what if you miss a chapter or life gets hectic? Or what if you're registering late and don’t have the book yet?
Don’t worry! This is a very friendly book club. A printed bullet-point summary of each chapter we’ll discuss will be provided in every class, so you can participate fully—even if life has gotten in the way of your reading time.Your cozies.
Bring your slippers if you like. Bring a journal to write and reflect. Come as comfortably as you can.The knowledge that we expect to get a little uncomfortable in this course.
In fact, that’s what it’s all about—making space to lean into discomfort and discovering ways to ground ourselves in our values, self-compassion, and mindfulness so that we can move through it—and Sing Because.
Who is this class for?
This class is for adult (18+) singers of all levels and abilities.
Here’s the thing about perfectionism: it doesn’t tend to go away with more training or experience. Whether you’re singing in front of others for the very first time or have performed many times before, perfectionism can make it hard to hear the beauty in your own voice.
So—whether you're new to singing or seasoned—there is space for you here.
The only prerequisites are:
A desire to sing with and in front of others.
A willingness to be supported as you work through the perfectionism or anxiety that might be holding you back.
A commitment to creating a compassionate, wholehearted space for others to do the same.
How much does it cost?
$350 for the full series ($35 per class).
There is a 10-person enrolment limit to keep the group small enough for everyone to share, reflect, sing, and connect. That being said, be sure to snag your spot today!
Class fees are non-refundable. This policy is in place because your registration reserves a space in a small, intimate cohort—and space is limited. A great deal of care goes into creating a supportive group experience, and your commitment helps make that possible. If you’re unsure whether this class is the right fit, I’d be happy to connect before you sign up.
“If you struggle with anxiety around singing, like I did, Christina creates an environment where you can finally breathe and just be with your voice.”
