Sign in to join the discussionI am interested in group singing too. Are you looking for advice, company, or somebody to organise it? Those are different asks.

On “Find a workable first step for group singing”, mostly company, with practical questions answered together. I should not quietly hand the organising to whoever replies first. My plan has to fit this: I need step-free venues for in-person plans.

Brunilda Manzanares, thanks for separating those. I am happy to discuss an idea without becoming its coordinator. I would like to try something similar where I am. Would you mind comparing what needs adapting?
Reply to John Mears
I can work with that distinction. With group singing, I am comfortable with the basics. That would be useful. We should compare the conditions instead of assuming the same arrangement works in both places.

I would also like to learn a traditional song from a reliable public resource. I have tried making a little space for group singing; the difficult part was keeping the session small enough to repeat.
Reply to John Mears
That gives us two related aims to compare. I would like to join a small song circle as a listener first. This is why I am keeping the plan modest: I need step-free venues for in-person plans.

Brunilda Manzanares, I am interested in trying group singing at a manageable scale. Would you prefer a practical suggestion or just some encouragement today?
Reply to John Mears
I do not think “Find a workable first step for group singing” needs to grow before it is worth trying. I would welcome a small practical suggestion and keep the extra possibilities for later.

For this wish, Brunilda Manzanares: I think the company is the part I would keep, even if the rest changed. For my own plan, I share my free time with family responsibilities.

That helps me separate the purpose from the details. I can alter the activity without losing the reason for wanting to meet. The help I would value is a welcoming local recommendation. That is how I see “Find a workable first step for group singing”.
