This course builds on previous courses in Scarborough for an existing student group. The emphasis is on learning acapella rounds and harmony songs by ear to sing together for pleasure. Songs from a range of sources will be used, some in different languages. Along the way we will explore some of the cultural aspects of singing together using different singing traditions as examples.
