Who for? For primary age school children in years 1-6.
When? Starting back Thurs 29th April and running weekly in term time.
Where? St Thomas's Church, Telford Avenue.
Max 15 children so spaces are allocated on a first come first serve basis. Info and bookings at: www.mindandvoice.com/kidzchorus

🎶 WHY SING?
Research has demonstrated that group singing:
- Supports & improves lung health & function (very important in these covid times!!)
🧠 Stimulates the whole brain, enhancing cognitive function & supporting positive mental health.
👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏾👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾 Enhances feelings of emotional connection, helping to counteract loneliness & isolation (again SO important at the moment).

It’s not too late folks! If you are feeling the need to breathe, take a step back from the demands of daily life & do something positive for yourself, you can check out our Mind & Voice session 1 on YouTube (link in bio).
💙 The 30min session starts with the body, developing into the breath & then some voice work.
💙 It finishes with a simple, original song to leave you with a mindful ear worm to carry you through difficult times or negative feelings.
💙 Session 2 is LIVE on Facebook 12-12:30pm UK 🇬🇧 time, so join us then.

10/11/2020

“OH NO!!!”🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤦‍♂️ I hear you say. “Not Zoom”. And I totally get it. Choirs on zoom are not choirs in the sense of singing together, harmonising together, chatting for real, sharing that moment where I catch your eye when we both stuff up the same bit & collapse into giggles 🤭.
BUT we need CONNECTION! Now more than ever before...and sharing a combined time and online space, sharing our voices & jokes is a different way of doing that, which is needed now more than ever.
SO JOIN US TONIGHT! 7:30pm on Zoom.
Link to join in bio and please make a donation to help support my work.
