This is not a traditional choir.   What is the mission of this choir? Our choir will rehearse and sing with the audience, encouraging them to use their voices for health, healing, and transformation. Our vision is to provide life-affirming, health-supporting, spiritual experiences through singing together in Harmony and Love! This is a meaningful way to give back to a population of wonderful seniors. Is this choir for you? YES if you love to sing and want to use your voice for an uplifting, meaningful, and inspiring experience. YES if you enjoy the idea of singing with an audience of seniors and bringing harmony to their lives. YES if you hold a vision of a world transformed by Harmony. Do I need to be able to read music? There will be sheet music, however, if you have a good ear you may not need it. Most of our songs feature a melody and improvised harmony. What if I don't know what 'section" I should sing in? Every choir member sings in their own range.  You choose the notes that are comfortable for you!  We don't really have sections, though there may be a high part and a low part. What if this music is all new to me? If you already love singing, you will learn these songs quickly. They are all Harmony-friendly! You will be surrounded by many singers who already know the music. Is there a fee? There will be no charge to you for singing in this choir other than the cost of a white notebook for your music. You are always welcome to donate to our outreach. What is this music about? We share songs by HG Moses that celebrate the beauty of Nature, the wonder of Cosmos, and the healing power of Love. Our non-denominational lyrics merge the languages of science and spirituality in a music that is filled with beauty, passion, and spiritual expression. We seek transformation through Harmony and Love! We invite you to review our Higher Vibrations Music site and also visit our YouTube Channel to hear one of the songs we will be singing. What are the rehearsals for? We will always be adding new songs in our rehearsals. We will rehearse some phrasing, dynamics, and tempo changes.  However, the bulk of our rehearsal will be to improve and hone our improvisational skills. We will experiment with ways to be more comfortable singing, as well as learn ways to make your voice more beautiful. Some of our songs are structured, but many also contain an “improvisational zone” where singers create their own melodies and harmonies.   We will teach you simple techniques for improvising. What is Improvisational Harmonic Singing? Some of our music incorporates harmonic overtone tracks that blend perfectly with your voice and the piano. We call this Improvisational Harmonic Singing. Our members report that it's like singing with angels. Your soul will love this experience!   Click the links below to watch some of our videos.   Higher Vibrations Outreach to Seniors Video Higher Vibrations Music website YouTube Channel
