Hyderabad Western Music Foundation invites you to

Workshop on Community Singing Sharing Music – Creating Harmony

What is Community Music? How can we use music as a tool to connect people together and create the sense of a community? We will explore how different communities 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-weekly sessions, from January. The motivation behind these sessions of community singing is not singing for a prayer or singing for the country or patriotism - although we might take songs from religious / patriotic repertoire sometimes. But the motivation is simply to feel each others' energy and understand what it is like to sing with a room full of people. We will sing songs from different languages each time, from all over the world. The songs will 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!
