Description

“Summer is a-coming in, loudly sing!”  is the opening lyric to the oldest known round in English, from a manuscript dated 1260.  We’ll start simple and work our way up to that one and beyond.  Singing rounds is a wonderful way to enjoy group singing while improving your music literacy and confidence.  Students will also develop their vocal tone and blending skills.  All voices and skill levels are welcome. Repertoire will be assembled from a wide variety of sources and distributed in class. At the end of the term, we will perform the songs we’ve learned for an invited audience of family and friends.
