Resonance: sound being deep, full, reverberating. This ongoing, closed group welcomes participants who want to explore music as a means to amplify the unique songs within all of us, and see its impact resonate with others. This group will be primarily led by the participants (closed group no more than 10 participants each cohort), where they develop a music experience/expression and how they would like to have it shared with their communities. With the musical and interpersonal support of the group facilitator (licensed music therapist), participants co-create a meaningful group expression of who they are, what they value, and how they want to let others know about it. $5 per family per class. Please sign up for ALL dates in the session #.
