See You at the Next Singing!

See You at the Next Singing!

Sacred Harp shape note singing is a community musical and social activity, emphasizing participation, not performance. Everyone is invited to come and sing (or just listen), regardless of musical experience or ability. Our events have no membership requirement and no affiliation: religious, political or otherwise.

The next singing is Sunday, May 13, from 5-7pm, at People’s Co-op.

Lead on!

The two-day 2012 Pacific Northwest convention on Mercer Island was a blast (rumor has it Bill Gates came by on Saturday to ask us to "please keep it down so a regular guy can get a nap on his day off").   

On Saturday morning Karen, David, and Erika gave a great school on leading, and posted a Leading Lesson Booklet and three audio files that you can refer to: Segment 1Segment 2Segment 3.

Wow, very helpful resources, right? Best to follow that up while it's fresh in your mind with additional in-person guidance and practice: This Sunday Marie and Betsy will lead a school on leading, here in Portland at The Kennedy School, from 3-4pm, which will be followed with regular singing from 4-6pm. Whatcha gonna lead?
