FAQ'S

Do I need to be a singer to participate?

No. Singing is a very natural practice and it is important for humans beings as much as other ways of creative expression If you can speak, you are most likely to be able to sing. This is because we need to be able to reproduce sounds in difference frequencies to be able to produce a sound that others can recognize as a word. In fact only a very small special percentage of people cannot sing or are "tone deaf". In my experience it is all about practice, patience, beliefs around singing, education and other causes.

We are very inclusive of first timers and every activity is an invitation. You can take as much time to participate as you want. We also perform breathing and singing exercises to strengthen your voice and tips to help you sing .

PLEASE NOTE:

How much are the classes?

Pay what you can. If you cannot pay come for free, it is that simple.

Who is running the classes?

Hello, my name is Adriana and I sing and perform since I was very little. Also, is a tradition in my family to sing in a circle to help family and friends, give advice, for healing and other traditional practices.

While studying to become a medical doctor I joined a choir and inspired by the choir director I went to study classical singing during the night with Maestra Gladys Puig.

After graduating, I ended up singing many traditions and styles up to this day. I sing professionally, but I also have years of experience as a singing workshop leader. I love choirs & singing groups and to encourage people to sing.
