“Thank you for the humor and energy you brought to the rehearsals. It was truly a memorable experience for us to do something like this. In a time when I feel like all I’m doing is driving the kids to their activities and somehow trying to squeeze in time for my own, this was a refreshing change to do something together that we all loved. We will be back! ”

“... coming back to singing at 72 years old made me realize how much I missed this. It is a great feeling that one can only appreciate when one does it. ... All these diverse people, the kids, the old folks like me, and everyone in between, all singing together in front of their families and friends form such a lovely feeling of inclusion and community, that is so cool!”

“I’ve been reflecting on what a special 10 weeks this has been for ​[child’s name] and me. I’m so grateful you’ve cultivated such a loving community and welcomed us into it. This was my first time singing since leaving my career as a performer six years ago, and getting to do it alongside ​[child’s name] made it surreal in the best way. She loved every bit of it and immediately asked when we would get to do it again.”

Attendance: 

All Voices doesn't have an attendance policy, but please try to come as often as you can to get the most out of the experience. Your presence greatly benefits the work of our ensemble. 

Requirements: 

Our rehearsals are 1.5 hours and are typically best for children 5+ and those who are getting comfortable with reading. Please email with specific questions. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult. No musical knowledge required.

What to Expect:

Rehearsals start by breathing and warming up our voices and bodies. We continue by working on songs with the lyrics projected and the notes being taught by ear. When we add harmonies, we break out into "Sectionals" and learn the parts separately. We try to make time to listen to recordings, do movement activities and laugh. All rehearsals are accompanied by a live band! 

Repertoire: 

All Voices sings a little of everything! Musical Theatre, Pop, Jazz, Folk, Country, Children's Classics, and songs in different languages. Suggestions welcome!

Band & Harmonies

  • We rehearse with a live band, made up of local musicians, and students from the University of Washington, School of Music

  • We sing in unison, and aim to add two-part and three-part harmony on most of the songs. Participants self-select their vocal parts i.e. melody, high harmony and low harmony

Refund Policy:

  • Refunds after the first rehearsal: 100%

  • Refunds after the 2nd rehearsal: 50%

  • No refunds after the 3rd rehearsal. Thanks for understanding.

“I’m absolutely in love with your teaching style, and the way you communicate with absolutely anyone. ... I didn’t even know I was singing, it was so natural and easy.”
