Intro to Harmony Singing w/ Suzannah Park

Singing in harmony is deeply satisfying and rewarding. It can feel daunting to start, but we'll spend this fun-filled weekend learning by jumping in and singing. We'll learn songs in two-, three-, and four-part harmony, in groups both large and small. There are no wrong notes - just a journey to find the notes you like best. For beginners - no sight reading is required, but the ability to hold a tune/melody is helpful.

Join WACC director Suzannah Park for a weekend workshop at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC.
