Wonderland Singers Zoom Choir
Using loopers to layer my own voice and a host of other instruments, I will lead the group through a mix of my original songs, some covers, and music of the moment; focusing on folk, soul, and spirit lifting songs. Everything will be taught by ear using mostly call and response singing. Together we will explore melody, harmony, rhythm, creativity, improvisation, inspiration, and the joy of singing. ~ Coco

Important note: Due to varying internet speeds and lag times, all the participant singers are muted and hearing just me when we sing. This affords singers the anonymity to freely explore and sing what they want, when they want.

A bit more about the Wonderland Singers
The Wonderland Singers is an interactive, spontaneous, playful, choose-your-own-adventure-style singing group. There are two 10 week sessions each year, one in fall and one in winter. During these sessions we get together once a week over Zoom to sing. Each week Coco will lead a mix of light and easy singing along, learning and practicing harmony parts, and some creative playtime.
Singing over Zoom offers a lot of unique opportunities. Everyone but Coco is muted, so you can sing whatever you want, whenever you want! Coco will be offering melodies and harmony parts, giving suggestions and directions all throughout every singing session, but if there are moments you feel inspired to sing something else... do that! If you want to take a break and sit back and listen, do that! If you feel like bringing an instrument with you and jamming along, go for it! If you want to dance along, or draw or paint or cook dinner while we sing, that's cool too. Always feel free to follow your own whims and musical ideas in this group. In other words, you can make this your own.
Every second week, everyone is invited to stick around after the singing for casual social time. We break out into groups of about 3–6 people and chat for about 15/20 minutes. It's a great opportunity to connect with friendly humans from all across Canada, the States, and even beyond!
As for “attendance” and “homework”, everything is 100% optional. If you just want to show up for the sessions when you're able to and catch the moments you can... and if sometimes you’re even late and need to leave early… totally fine. If you want to dig in on the members page and learn all the harmony parts for every song, great! However you want to approach singing in the Wonderland Singers is up to you. (You might be sensing a pattern... :)
Ok, let's sing! Woohoo!
