We sing harmony songs from around the world, including pop, gospel, world music, and contemporary choral compositions, all learned by ear. Sessions are designed to be engaging and playful, with opportunities to explore vocal and choral techniques as well as Collaborative Vocal Improvisation (CVI).

JamJar is a drop in choir, all are welcome.

I was brought up around the wonderful world of Community Choirs. Somewhere between the voice camps, community singing days, and performances, I fell in love. Many of us who long for a sense of belonging, connection, and a way of relating with others that is harmonious and non-hierarchical, have found this in choirs and singing communities, and I feel very blessed to have been given the skills to hold these spaces.
I believe that learning and singing harmony songs both gives us a taste of our potential for shared beauty, and creates a container for embodied resonance, giving us an experience of non-hierarchical creative collaboration. In my teaching I weave in the fascinating world of vocal anatomy and useful tools to free the singing voice.
I’ve joined and supported on a number of choir-leading courses with the Natural Voice Network, and trained in vocal technique with AOTOS (The Association of Teachers of Singing). I studied Bulgarian Singing with Dessislava Stefanova as part of my Ethnomusicology degree from SOAS, as well as learning Classical Indian Singing over a number of trips to India. In that strange way that time works, I’ve somehow been leading voice sessions and choirs for coming up to 15 years, and I love it. 

Qualifications
