Sacred Harp singing in Michigan

In the Lansing area, we sing on the first and third Mondays of each month, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.

We are a community singing in the traditional Southern style of Sacred Harp singing, sometimes called “shape note singing.”

Shape note singing uses solfege, where the shape of a note indicates its syllable in the musical scale, similar to that seen in the film The Sound of Music.
