Hi everyone, my name is Rachel Bayliss and I’m a singing teacher in your community. I believe everyone can learn to sing and my experience is that singing is a very powerful way we can uplift ourselves and get ourselves feeling great.
It’s been a while since I’ve hosted a lusty sing-a-long and I know that it feels AWESOME to open your body and let your heart sing. So I’d LOVE for you to come and join me for some rough-and-ready singing on the next three Tuesday nights at my venu in Addington, The Addington Haven, 19 Church Square.
WHY: Singing makes you feel awesome
WHAT: Three Tuesday evenings of singing together popular and folk songs, a wide range of music
Dates: Tuesdays 27th August, 3rd of September and 10th September
Time: 7:30-8:45pm
Venue: The Addington Haven, cnr of Grove Rd and Church Square, Addington
HOW: let me know you’re coming email songbird1nz@yahoo.co.nz
invite some friends to come to
email me any song ideas
tune your guitar or ukelele if you have one and find your capo
rock on up at 7:30 on Tuesday and have a blast
WHAT if:
you can’t come to all the sessions? no worries, just come to what you can
you don’t know if you can sing? perfect this is a safe environment to be brave and have a go
you haven’t got $10? – come anyway
you feel like it’s worth more than $10? – that’s OK you can pay $50 if you want 🙂
you get really hungry just around 8:15pm? – bring a snack to share 🙂
If anyone has a projector I could borrow please let me know – then we can do youtube on the big screen 🙂
Looking forward to meeting you, bring a friend, best wishes, Rachel Bayliss
