First ever meeting on November 25th!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once described as\u201cthe Metal of Early-American Music,\u201d<\/em> Shape Note Singing is a community-focused, practice-based singing style that uses shaped noteheads to make learning music accessible to everyone. The result is a bold, resonant sound that fills the room and connects singers through shared rhythm and its unique harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our group meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, from 7-9 PM, to sing from The Sacred Harp (2025)<\/em> and The Shenandoah Harmony<\/em>, celebrating a living tradition that\u2019s as spirited as it is welcoming<\/strong>\u2014and free to attend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcomers are encouraged to join us! Each 2nd Tuesday<\/strong> there will be a workshop-style deep dive into the history and technique of Shape Note Singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No experience required\u2014just bring your voice and curiosity!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a copy of The Sacred Harp, <\/em>don\u2019t worry! We\u2019ll have a few loaner copies available to use and purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that though much of the content of the music is based in Christianity, the practice itself is secular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
