Hyderabad Western Music Foundation invites you to "Music Course on Community Singing".

What is Community Music? How can we use music as a tool to connect people together and create the sense of a community? Communities around the world have made used the simple act of singing together to boost their morale, bring each other together, and gain motivation. HWMF is starting a Community singing project with bi-monthly sessions, from January. The motivation is simply to feel each others' energy and understand what it is like to sing with a room full of people. It is expected that participants have a basic interest in learning songs from all over the world in different languages and historical contexts! For this reason, we have set the minimum age to 12 years. The songs come from a variety of sources such as: Sea shanties from sailors, Folk songs from folk poets of India, Simplified classical songs / poems, Folk poems from around the world, Round Songs. So if you are fond of singing just for the sheer joy of it, this is the place to be! Once you register, new rep will be mailed to you for preparing in advance, and so that we can all enjoy singing these songs! Our first session will contain for ex. the famous “Banana Boat Song” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L9angh4KdQ
