Improvisational Singing Class
" Martin gently leads students into the world of Improvisational Singing (Ala Bobby McFerrin). No experience necessary, progress at your own comfort level."
Martin Swinger immediately engages even the shyest player in singing playfully improvised songs in a safe and welcoming environment. Simple vocal games become group improvisations which are deeply gratifying and fun. Exercises scaffold from simple exchanges into full-group in-the-moment creations. Opportunities abound for participants to explore at your own comfort level, take safe risks, discover individual strengths and learn to be a dependable ensemble member and music creator.
If you are only coming to the free class please email info@belmararts.org.

"Martin Swinger is one of those rare singer-songwriters who excels at everything: singing, songwriting, guitar-playing, and being so present with his humor, tenderness, and wild mind that his performances are also deep conversations, soul to soul and heart to heart, about the quirks, surprises, and love that brings us most alive. His songs, ranging from the little plastic parts that hold the world together, to what enlightenment comes from Buddha and Betty Boop falling in love, are whimsically and wisely original and enduring." -
