🌹 🎶 Spring into Singing, Sing into Spring!

Dear Friend 🌹 🎶   Spring into Singing, Sing into Spring!  🎶🌹 "We each harbour a talent. It hibernates within us, snug yet eager, waiting for the first darling buds of opportunity to emerge.” - Kevin Ansbro, English Writer  Hope all is springing & singing beautifully in your world this March! As nature's abundant creativity starts springing, I've been musing on the many magical ways our voices can bud, flower and blossom.  It takes courage to allow our voices to emerge - whether it's summoning the strength to speak a difficult truth or sharing a heartfelt song with an audience - I honour your creative risk-taking and am cheering you on!  **  Voice Emerging Click here for this months podcast/ blog  (8 mins listen or read the transcript) Reflections on how our voices can emerge from trauma and help build a more empathic, creative world, drawing on the wisdom of Nelson Mandela and Psychiatrist Boris Cyrulnikon. ** There's LOTS of lovely ways to Sing into Spring this month including * Emerging - March Voice Circle * Sing Croydon! celebrating Croydon's Musical Heritage  and a Spring Posy of * Spring Choir Celebrations and Concerts  full details below and on my Events Page    🌹 🎶  Wishing You Magical Vocal Emergings this March Look forward to seeing and singing with you along the way!
