SUMMARY:Jackdaws Songbirds
DESCRIPTION:About:\nJackdaws Songbirds are a friendly, informal choir who meet weekly during term time to sing together in a relaxed environment.\nThere are no auditions and no previous singing or music experience is required. Songs are taught by ear; music notation is available\nto those who read, but reading isn’t necessary. Our aim is to enjoy singing together in harmony and to explore different types of\nmusic: traditional and modern, from Britain and beyond.\nYou are most welcome to bring your babies, pre-schoolers and toddlers to this Monday session: we sing for an hour, parents and\ncarers are welcome to bring toys for the toddlers to play with. We don’t expect pre-schoolers to be quiet, and we don’t expect full\nattention from parents! In a typical session, children may play on their own for a bit, require some attention for a bit, and may even\nlisten in now and then. At 2.30pm the toys are cleared away and we sing a few songs with the children.\nYou can sign up for the term, or come on a drop-in basis to this Songbirds group.\nBenefits:\n\nHave fun\n Learn great songs\nMake connections\nFeel good\nImprove your singing\n\nTestimonials:\n‘I leave our singing sessions so full of joy… you are really quite extraordinary at organising, teaching, and making it look so easy!\nSo thank you for your magic!!!’\nSuitable for:\nAdults and pre-school children\nAdditional Information:\nWhen I was a child, I always wanted to sing in a band, preferably an all-girl band called “The Beach Girls”. As I young adult, I did get\nmy wish of singing in a band: after five years of songwriting, recording, touring the country in dodgy transits, 80s crimes against hair\nand fashion, etc, with a lot of life experience but not a great deal of success, we called it a day. I then had a variety of jobs: cleaner,\nfuton seller, window dresser, and later teacher of English as a second language, all the while continuing to perform in bands.\nSince 1995 I have been happily settled in Frome. Although initially known as mother-of-twins, I am now better known as singing-lady.\nI began teaching singing and musicianship in schools, based on the Kodaly technique. I love a bit of doh-re-mi. And those are all\nvalid scrabble words too. Currently I run two choirs: Jackdaws Songbirds in Frome (three groups) and Shreen Harmony in Mere. I\nalso lead two singing groups for adults living with dementia, in Bradford-on-Avon and Westbury, and I sing with children at Sutton\nVeny primary school.\nI love discovering songs and writing arrangements to suit each group, and then hearing how the singers bring the song to life. I know\nI should really have a hobby away from music, but I am a useless gardener: in my spare time, I’m a singer and songwriter with local\nband Three Corners, and I also sing jazz with the Terry Hill big band.\nCaroline\nCost:\nCost: £ 6 drop-in per session, or £5 per week when paid termly in advance; payment by bank transfer or cash\n
