The Singing Soul: Improvisational A Cappella in Nelson - October 25-27
Hello Nelson area singers!
I am very happy to announce this 3 day workshop for this fall. I've really enjoyed bringing The Singing Soul to Nelson and I am stoked to continue connecting and journeying with Kootenay folks through improv vocal music making. We'll be back at the First Baptist Church as our venue which I enjoyed last time. Registration will be easier this time with our use of an online ticketing process, and if that doesn't work for you resource people are standing by to connect with as well.
I look forward to singing with you in October!!
Kind regards,
David

What is The Singing Soul?
A Swingin' Swayin' Funk Bump Afro Gospel Sacred Soulful Blues Chant Jam Feelin' Hi Mash-up!!
The Singing Soul is the experience of unrehearsed, spontaneous singing, collaborative creativity and the creation of community through improvised vocal music. It is for people who are ready to let go of "getting it right" and embrace letting it just happen. This utterly experiential program is a powerful experience of being alive and present. We'll explore the skill set of the improviser: deep listening, working with change, following and trusting intuition spontaneity, fluid awareness of self and others. We'll also strengthen our abilities as musical architects: constructing melodies, harmony, vocal percussion, bass lines. There are no wrong notes and there's nothing to memorize - just breathe and sing.
"A cappella improvisation with David Hatfield takes you to unforeseen destinations of hilarity, weirdness, extraordinary harmony, and transcendence. This gifted facilitator can coax music out of your very pores. A cappella improvisation is a metaphor for life, creating harmony and rhythm out of whatever comes your way."
~ J. Tissandier, Canmore, Alberta
