IN PERSON
Herne Hill Harmony Singing Support Space is now open to ALL with a small group of up to 15, Monday evenings, 8:15-9:30pm from 17th May at 'The Station Hall', right in the heart of Herne Hill. Sign up with the button above, or get in touch now to register or to join the waiting list: info@zoiesings.com This year has taken its toll in crazy and unforeseen ways. Now is the time for us to gently stretch back into reconnecting with ourselves, our community and with what we've dealt with! Come and meet some lovely people, learn some cracking songs and beautiful mindful singing practices and be part of an open and inclusive community. All ages, genders and abilities welcome, even if you don't think you can sing! Songs are taught by ear and layered up to create gorgeous harmonies so we sound way better than any of us could on our own! In the autumn, when we hope to be safe to mingle in greater numbers, this group will likely expand and evolve into our brand new community choir, Herne Hill Harmony. The membership fee covers all term-time in-person classes and also gives free access to the Wednesday night online choir, HARMONY! so that if you are ever away, need to miss a session, are needing to isolate for any reason or just want to maintain the connection outside of regular term time, you don't need to miss out! Membership is £30 per month (equates to £9.50 per in-person class, with free access to online HARMONY! sessions). Sign up here: pay.gocardless.com/AL0003RST11P56 |

South London Singing Mamas is back! Streatham @ St. Leonards on the High Street: 10-11:30am, Tuesdays - Herne Hill @ The Baptist Church on Half Moon Lane : 10-11:30am, Thursdays Singing Mamas Choir is an incredible network of women's singing groups stretching across the UK, bring together women (and their little ones if wished) to gather weekly and connect in song. It is a song sharing and a support network, a friendship group and a work out for mind and body! We now have full government approval to run IN-PERSON singing support space groups supporting peri-natal mental health of up to 15 people, even if we were to go back into full lockdown! THIS IS SUCH GOOD NEWS! Looking after each other and connecting in song improves mental health and gives us all a much needed boost and sense of community. It seriously doesn't matter whether you think you can sing or not! Join and see what we mean! Give yourself (and your little ones if you wish to bring them along) the gift of harmony! x Membership is taken monthly through Gocardless, for ease and so that you are in control of starting and stopping whenever you like. Please try to give one month's notice if you wish to stop so that I can offer your place out to another mama. In person sessions run during term time and membership includes free access to all the online sessions so that if you are ever away, need to miss a session, are needing to isolate for any reason or just want to maintain the connection outside of regular term time, you don't need to miss out! Full membership is £30 per month (equates to £9.50 per in-person class, with free access to online sessions). Sign up here: https://pay.gocardless.com/AL0003RKAQSM9C |

The amazing online communities Zoie has created over the last year and a bit will continue for the foreseeable future for those living further afield, who have moved away or are unable to access the in-person groups for any reason but still want to be held in a fun and supportive community. Online Singing Mamas sessions will be held Wednesday mornings 10-11:15am. Don't be alone- come and meet some lovely mums, learn a few beautiful and useful songs and have a lovely community of women to support you. HARMONY! Online Choir is an open-to-all Natural Voice Choir for fun, connection and some fab songs! We gather on Wednesday nights, 8-9pm on Zoom. It's a warm and welcoming group and we sing songs from all over the world and is a lot of fun with the occasional bit of silliness! Invite your friends, wherever they may be, and join in the singing! Zoie uses a loop station to layer the harmonies so that we can still sing together in harmony, even when muted and through Zoom!

As support spaces we will be observing all current Covid-19 guidelines. SMC runs as a not-for-profit community interest company and has full government approval to run these support spaces.
ALL of my groups have a couple of bursary places available for anyone struggling. If this is you, or applies to someone you know, PLEASE do get in touch. It is more important than ever that we are held in community.
Meet Your Choir Leader!
