Singing for Wellness and Fun

In a fun and relaxed atmosphere, this workshop will explore wellness through singing. It is a well-established fact that singing and breathing together is good for our bodies, minds and hearts, creating an instant “community of music”. Joan will lead you through songs and rounds and activities that will make the most of your voice and leave you feeling uplifted and refreshed. No pressure, no need to read music, just bring a positive attitude!
