At Sound Connection, we believe singing creates social connectedness and a sense of belonging, and we recognize the importance of creating a safe place to find, explore and share your voice in community.
Group singing has been shown to build social connections and generate a collective identity. Simply put, individuals who sing/breathe/move together, feel together. In fact, some theorists claim that one evolutionary purpose of group singing is social bonding.
Sound Connection is a proud Ubuntu choirs network member and believes that singing is our birthright even the shyest of voices can re-discover the joy of singing.
We are a friendly and encouraging group that sings contemporary and world music from all genres and traditions, vocalists receive instruction on song parts in the oral tradition of call and response.
Sharon and Megan also offer some basic guidance with vocal technique, and how to use your voice safely and correctly. content that will help your readers understand your message.
