This is new community choir for St Austell, supported by Cornwall College and the Keay Theatre, PL25 4DH - free parking.
The choir is led by Emma Mansfield, Lost in Song, Diaspora Carols, Riots and Lobsters, Rodeohead and Sing Along the River and many other community music events, workshops and projects.
Emma found singing when she moved to Cornwall in 2002. Inspired by Vicky Abbott and her participation in the Eden Choir, she found it a fabulous way to develop mental wellbeing and balance through meeting new people, expressing her voice and enjoying group singing.
There are no auditions, or need to be able to read music. If you like singing, would like to learn more about your voice and would like to sing uplifting popular songs from all genres - get involved.
Singing has so many benefits for our sense of self expression, feelings of connection, breathing, mood, energy and sense of empowerment and belonging, which we all need.
Singing, humming and resonating with others can help us to release the negative experiences of stress and shock and help us work through old and stuck survival energies, which get held in the body, causing all kinds of distress. In over 15 years of leading singing groups, I have never met one person who does not leave a session feeling grounded, calmer and more joyful about life. That is how being a part of a choir made me feel and that is why I lead the groups I do.
As well as being a singing leader I am a yoga teacher and somatics education and all of my skills and understanding of voicing, posture, muscle releasing and breathing are part of what I share.
We will have a lot of fun and joy and laugher are guarenteed.
Starting on Tuesday 19th September, 7.15pm to 8.30pm - first session free - which ever Tuesday you take a try out.
