What are Circlesongs?
Pioneered by American vocalist, conductor, and composer Bobby McFerrin, Circlesongs is a form of collaborative singing where people come together to create spontaneous vocal improvisations, harmonies, rhythms, and melodies in a supportive group environment.
Circlesongs was developed in a way that encouraged people to take it out into the world and make it their own, and as such there are as many different ways to Circlesing as there are communities Circlesinging.

Build Confidence
Whether it’s your first time singing with others outside of the safety of your car/shower, or you are a seasoned musician, Circlesongs can help strengthen your confidence expressing yourself in group settings. You will learn how to trust your intuition and respond to the demands of the present moment with greater ease, joy, and fluidity. Through improvising and co-creating in a group, you will gain invaluable collaboration and communication skills that will help you live a more spontaneous and engaging life.
Develop
Musical Fluency
If you are intimidated by the idea of improvising, we create a safe, supportive, and inclusive container that allows for learning to happen from a place of play and curiosity. It’s a fantastic environment to develop your Musicianship from an experiential approach that helps get you out of your head and into the present moment, trusting your innate creativity and intuition. You’ll learn foundational musical, interpersonal, and leadership skills that will support you wherever you take your life.
Express Your Self
You are invited to join us! Come and share You! Experience the joy of exploring your body and voice in a judgement-free environment. Play some games, have fun, challenge yourself trying something new, be willing to surprise yourself and grow, and leave energized and inspired, making new friends and building community along the way. Since Circlesongs is an improvised art, there's nothing to prepare, nothing to memorize, you just show up and play. It can feel quite freeing!
"Part of my job description as an artist is moving people to make important changes in their lives. If you come into the concert hall angry, you'll leave forgiving. If you come in bitter, you'll leave merciful. If there’s one thing I want is for people to feel that sense of joy that I feel for just being able to sing, and getting a room full of strangers to sing together? What a joyful experience that is for me!”
-Bobby McFerrin
