Music Circle Webinars

On Summer Break:  July and August
Hope to Return:  September


DURATION:  1 hour
 FREE (with option to Support Our Mission*)

PRESENTERS:  Mary Knysh (USA), Irene Feher (Canada)
​

We invite you to play with us, to drum, to sing and to laugh. Connected online through the Zoom platform, we will create music in the moment. Using techniques developed by members of Music for People, our music improvisation workshops are accessible to everyone; no previous musical experience required!

"The Zoom concert was great! I got wonderful feedback and it was so much fun to play at home, in slippers, on my own piano, in front of some 100 tiny people on a screen! I probably would never have done this in a concert hall."   Anna B

We will meet using Zoom video conferencing. You will receive a link to the webinar when you register.
Workshop size is limited to 100 so we recommend that you get online before our starting time to reserve your place.

​"Thank you for an amazing session! So much fun - inspiring and inspired."

FREE



"After this session I have slept well for the first time in weeks!"

If you have previously registered, you DO NOT NEED to register again.
If you forgot to save the Zoom link, you may re-register to access the link. 



​*The "Fill Your Home with Music" Music Circles are FREE, with the option to Support Our Mission. If you enjoyed your time making music with us, will you please consider making a donation to help support us while we bring music making and joy into as many homes as possible during these times of social distancing. Any amount, even $1.00, will help us continue to keep this work alive and growing during these economically-affected times. Thank You.
