No judgment. No need for perfection. Just the joy of singing in harmony with a room full o f beautiful humans.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS A ONE-DAY CHOIR?\n\nGaia Music Collec tive's One-Day Choir series is an opportunity to sing in a choir for one d ay only. A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harm ony. An opportunity to build community\, make some new friends\, and raise our powerfully diverse voices as one.\n\nNo auditions. No commitment. No judgment or need for perfection.\n\nJust the joy of creating something big ger than ourselves with a room full of beautiful humans!\n\nFor each choir \, we pick a piece of music to rehearse and sing our hearts out to. In our time together\, we'll:\n\n Play some fun singing games\, warmups and con nection games\n Work through the piece section by section\n Break down t he lyrics and emotions at play in the song\n Shape some key musical momen ts\n And record some casual rehearsal videos of the piece to have for our selves and share with the greater Gaia community\n\nWhether you're a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before\, you are welcome h ere - all experience levels are valued in Gaia Music Collective!\n\nCLICK HERE FOR TICKETS\nOUR SONG THIS TIME AROUND\nThis season\, we gather aroun d “For Good” from Wicked — a song that reminds us that every enc ounter\, every shared note\, has the power to change us. In its harmonies\ , we honor the friends who have walked beside us\, the ones we’ve met on ly once\, and the ones we’re still becoming.\n\nWe invite you to lend yo ur voice to this spell of gratitude and connection — to sing not only f or good\, but because of the good we’ve known in one another.\nLEARNI NG THE MUSIC\nSheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be avai lable as learning resources at least a week before the event\, to accommod ate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email!\n\nThe intention is fo r us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves wit h the parts\, so that we can spend our time together really diving into th e joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teachi ng parts one by one. That being said\, we’re just doing this for ourselv es\, so there’s no need to stress over it (and definitely no need to mem orize it or get it “perfect”\, ever)! It’s also often easier to sing in person\, when the rest of our part-buddies are singing the part with u s. The community is here to support! Our primary intention here is simply to have fun and make some great music.\n\n(If this style of learning isn't your cup of tea\, we have other group singing events where you don't need to prepare at all! Check out our CircleSinging gatherings and House Shows .)\n\nLED and FACILITATED BY:\n\nThis session will be facilitated by the a mazing Asher Blank!\n\n \;\n View this post on Instagram A post shared by NEW YORK VOCAL COLLECTIVE (@nyvocalcollective)\n\n\n ASHER BLANK (@asherbl_nk | he/him) is a composer of vocal and electronic music.
