Putting this both up here and on FB. I am contemplating starting a virtual song circle or 2 for all experience levels, possibly with one or more for specific groups/identities. If this is something that would interest you, please take this survey and, if I get enough responses, I'll get things moving. Form here:

Song Circle Interest Form
I am creating this form to gauge interest from the community in me starting an online song circle, along with what times work best for folx. These would be groups in which songs are taught in call-and-response format, followed by sing-throughs of the entire song. I especially want to make space for people who can't afford to pay for sessions, though donations would be welcome and greatly appreciated.
Google DocsNice to see song circles getting a mention in this article about collective joy- my own
#SongCircle experiences in the last year have been full of this, the kind of happy you can only really make with others.

For years the corporate diktat has been that happiness must be achieved alone, but many are turning to communities for joy
The GuardianIn case you missed it. Here is me with a #levinecancerinstitute fellow music therapist, Maddie, and our interns jamming out. Such a blast. I was coaxed into doing John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”
