Kids' Singing Group

HELLO! Come join us...We are so excited to back in September!

The Kids' Singing Group is for any child of any ability aged 6 upwards who would like to sing pop songs in a small nourishing group.I have been a singing and songwriting teacher for over 10 years and the idea for a kids' singing group in the local community grew from running popular Singing- For Well-Being Workshops in my home. I have a long background in mental health work (NHS and Charities)which has enabled me to tune- in and support children who may be feeling anxious or unsettled.

These last few terms we have been singing songs by Rachel Platten, OneRepublic,Mark Ambor, Oliver!, (as well as an original song i wrote for the choir!) Bruno Mars, Benson Boome, George Ezra, The Beatles, Dua Lipa and Katy Perry, and the singing group also wrote their own song! We've been trying out harmonies too! We always start the session with a grounding ice-breaker game and fun warms ups to get us feeling relaxed with one another.

WHERE and WHEN?

At the Malling Community Centre in Lewes, in the small hall on Wednesdays at 4pm - 5pm. This is a lovely way to come together, make new friends and feel good in your body, heart and head. You do not have to know how to sing to be able to join: the focus will be on feeling good, having fun and creating music!
