All voices, ages and levels are welcome at our pop-up community song circles in Kingston parks! All songs will be taught by ear. No previous singing experience is required. Come as you are!

The outdoor song circles are totally no-pressure kind of events:
✔ Join us whenever you can and stay as long as you want.
✔ Got young children? Come and go as needed!
✔ New to group singing? Participate in whatever ways feel like a YES to you. Sing, listen, be silent, be still, sit, stand, dance, shake a shaker... as long as we are taking care of ourselves, one another and the park, there is no wrong way to participate!
✔ All songs will be taught in repeat-after-me style and will be simple enough to pick up in just 10 to 20 minutes.
✔ Donations are welcome and gratefully received, but totally optional.

Lightly facilitated by experienced community song leaders, Steph Drouin & Paul Barton, the format of this circle will be OPEN, meaning that there will be opportunities for community members to teach a song. If you want, you may come prepared with a song to teach, but this is not a requirement. Steph & Paul have HUNDREDS of simple songs in their pockets and they will come prepared to lead!
