\nWhy Sing<\/strong>?\u00a0 \u201cWhen you sing, musical vibrations move through you, altering your physical and emotional landscape. Group singing, for those who have done it, is the most exhilarating and transformative of all. It takes something incredibly intimate, a sound that begins inside you, shares it with a roomful of people and it comes back as something even more thrilling: harmony,\u201d writes Stacy Horn in Time magazine (8\/16\/13).
\nThe fee is $100.<\/p>\n
