Sing Because.

Singing Community
Do you experience anxiety when you sing in front of others?
Do you feel like perfectionism blocks you from engaging with your voice?
Do you long to reconnect to your voice, soften judgement, and feel connected to your original love of singing again?
Do you want to sing in a community of singers who value non-judgement, acceptance, and support?
Sing Because just might be for you!
So many of us feel disconnected from our original sense of fulfilment and joy in singing. The source of rupture in our relationship to our voices is unique for all of us, but the wounds have a massive impact on our lives. Our voices are a profound aspect of who we are, how we express ourselves in the world, and how we experience emotion, connection with ourselves, and others.
We need spaces where we can reconnect to our voices as home.
We need spaces where we can experience the joy of singing in community.
We need spaces to unlearn the messaging that has kept us separated from our love of singing.
Sing Because hopes to be that space.

What does it include?
Vocal Exploration & Somatic Singing
Every class weaves in whole-body breathing, somatic voice work, and guided vocal exploration. We will learn songs together and engage in group singing to help you to connect to your voice.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 and what gets in the way of expressing ourselves through our voices. Together we’ll unpack authenticity, perfectionism, shame, and creative vulnerability and how these patterns directly affect your voice, breath, and confidence.Guided Journaling & Creative Reflection
Each class includes guided journaling for reflection so that you can 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 practices. These practices will help you 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.
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. 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.Your cozies.
Show up in a way that allows you to feel comfortable to reflect, sing and move. Bring along a journal to write and reflect.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 your voice in community.
A desire to engage in discussions topics in the book including vulnerability, shame, perfectionism, meaning, connection, and more.
A curiosity around mindfulness, meditation and reflective practices.
A willingness to sing in a group and to explore your voice in unique, playful ways.
A commitment to creating an accepting, compassionate, non-judgemental space for others to do the same.

Cancellation & Refund Policy
Sing Because class fees are non-refundable. Because space is limited to keep our cohorts small and intimate, your registration reserves a dedicated spot. A great deal of care goes into building a supportive group experience, and your commitment helps make that possible.
My deep hope for every Sing Because series is that we gather enough singers to run. If we do not reach minimum registration 30 days before the start date, the class will be cancelled and full refunds will be issued. Please spread the word to your friends so we can build a wonderful cohort together!
