From Marie Vanderbeck:

Sing Fearlessly and Love Your Voice:

These are scary, stressful times. Want to do something to make your life better?? SING!!! Let’s all sing together and make Pittsboro the Sing Capital of NC!!! Sing Fearlessly with others who also need and want some joy in their lives. Many of you love to sing but have had little chance to do so. Here’s an opportunity to be with others who love to sing! You will get Vocal Coaching, improve your skills, learn to love your voice, and try new techniques in this fun, active, no-judgment, safe environment.

We’ll meet each Tuesday for 6 weeks – 6PM to 8PM May 27 through July 1, 2025 in downtown Pittsboro.

Although we’ll do some group songs, this is not a “sing along” class – this is a Workshop. Each class builds on the previous one so you’re never out of step. You’ll learn breath control, phrasing, vocal exercises, increasing your range, how to sing the “truth,” how to learn new songs, etc. We’ll explore individual as well as group techniques and harmonies. You’ll work on strengthening and relaxing your voice for optimal impact, and you’ll take home skills to get you on your way.

It has been said, by scientists, that singers have greater circuit connections between right and left brain. Also, it has been said, by doctors, that singing alters our molecules resulting in an analgesic body feeling. And it has been said, by--- me, that singing is just plain fun!!!

We have done this program many times. Shakori Hills is a great friend to our community and as such sponsors this program. There is no charge to attend! However, donations to Shakori Hills will be greatly (and happily) appreciated.

Who this class is for: Someone who enjoys being with other singers and will come every Tuesday to support each other and to learn from each other. Yes, life does get in the way sometimes and a class may have to be missed. But know that your presence honors each one of us.

This is not a “drop in” class. Registration is required.

Let’s sing together – it’s good for your body as well as your soul.

Yours in Harmony,

Marie Vanderbeck
