V. I. N. E. 

The Vocal Improvisation Network of Edmonton or sometimes called Vocal Improvisation Nourishing Everyone gathers together singers to create spontaneous musical play and composition that will open hearts and make souls sing! 


Based on improvised Circlesinging in the lineage of my teachers Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, David Worm, Joey Blake and Judi Vinar and more, we will evolve into leaderless forms of improvisation learning and reinforcing the building blocks of musical concepts (Rhythm, melody, harmony, etc) then applying this knowledge to improvised structures spontaneously creating music together with deep, compassionate and generous listening. We occasionally bring this form of music making into the community with performances or collaborations with other artists.

 

It was so sweet to sing together in April so we will continue into May!

We will continue with the Drop-in Sing form of gathering. However, I really appreciate knowing who is coming for my planning and also there is a limit on number of spaces available. So even if you are not sure let me know so I can hold you a space.
