Learn a traditional song from a reliable public resource

I am trying to make room for vocal warm-ups. I would enjoy a quiet version. Does it have to be lively?

Deborah Torres, no. I can make room for conversation without expecting constant conversation. A small group would help. My work rota changes from week to week.

For this wish, Jessica Peñalver: Exactly. Quiet company is still company. I am interested in the company, less in producing a polished result. Would that fit?

I would keep the invitation more modest than the enthusiasm. With vocal warm-ups, I am comfortable with the basics. It would fit the small version I have in mind. We can enjoy making an attempt without promising a polished outcome.

I would also like to join a small song circle as a listener first. I have tried making a little space for vocal warm-ups; the difficult part was keeping the session small enough to repeat.

That gives us two related aims to compare. I would like to learn a traditional song from a reliable public resource. One thing I should say upfront: my work rota changes from week to week.

My own aim is to join a small song circle as a listener first. Which part of your plan could we compare without assuming they are the same activity?

Please leave room for someone to have a less positive experience too. I would also like to join a small song circle as a listener first.

Deborah Torres, I would want to hear that without defending every choice. People can share an afternoon and come away wanting different things. The help I would value is a patient practice partner.
