When is it happening?

Sing Because is offered on a recurring basis both online and in-person in Victoria B.C. There will be both an online and in-person class series offered in 2026!

• Next Class Series Dates TBA

What does it include?

• Book Club & Discussion
  We’ll explore The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown as a lens for understanding the emotional and psychological side of singing. Together we’ll unpack authenticity, perfectionism, shame, and creative vulnerability and how these patterns directly affect your voice, breath, and confidence. Honest conversation becomes a powerful gateway to a more free and fulfilling singing life.

• Guided Journaling & Creative Reflection
  Each class includes guided journaling and drawing prompts to help you reflect, integrate, and personalize what you’re learning. These practices support deeper self-awareness and lasting transformation beyond the session itself.

• Mindfulness & Meditation for Singers
  Learn foundational mindfulness practices including sound meditation, open awareness, and noting, to build focus, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect with your true creative voice. Practices are both formal and informal, designed to support your singing in real life.

• Vocal Exploration & Somatic Singing
  Every class weaves in whole-body breathing, somatic voice work, improvisation, and guided vocal exploration. You’ll often sing on mute, allowing you to experiment freely and without pressure. Optional sharing, solo singing, and playful off-mute explorations are offered to help integrate and embody your learning.

What do I need to bring?

1. Your awesome self.

2. 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. You will be given a bullet point summary and class discussion questions for each chapter so that you can participate fully—even if life has gotten in the way of your reading time.

3. Your cozies.
   Show up in person or online in a way that allows you to feel comfortable to reflect, sing and move. Bring along a journal to write and reflect.

4. 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 and explore with your voice.

• 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 CAD for the full series (8 classes)

• What happens if you miss a class? All online classes will be recorded and emailed to participants within 24 hours of our time together so that you can catch up :)

‘Sing Because’ 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 and answer any questions you have before you sign up. Simply reach out at info@mindfulsoundstudio.com.
