Cara Trezise is a creative musician artist and educator whose mission is to revive vibrant community song. She travels regularly and teaches a unique blend of music, theater arts, nature connection, and body-centered improvisation. She has been studying intensively with Rhiannon here on the Big Island since 2011.
We host Cara for Community Singing Series, 3 Thursdays in March 5:30-6:45pm, the 9th, 16th, & 23rd. Feel free to drop-in or participate in the whole series.
*experience the power of music in community by learning songs and rounds from various traditions, singing multiple parts together, playing with simple body percussion, and building skills for vocal improvisation
*come expand your musical creativity and learn new songs you can bring home to share
*everyone is welcome
Cara writes:
Singing is natural and necessary for a community’s vitality. Often we can feel so much pressure to be perfect and to sound good, which interferes with the pure joy of singing. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with YOUR voice in a safe and playful environment. No experience necessary, you do not even have to identify as a “singer” to participate. Singing inspires, unifies, and restores the community fabric; therefore everyone’s voice is important in building a truly diverse vocal community.
