This Is Would You Like To Try Singing? For You! Join Voca Sol, Ottawa’s Daytime Choir in Old Ottawa South! with Choir Mistress Extraordinaire Lee Hayes! Music and community can improve your health, and extend your life. Singing is one of the best stress reducers, and this choir is FUN! Be creative within the safety of numbers, and with the guidance of a well-rounded and experienced teacher. Lots of camaraderie and laughs! No musical training necessary; Voca Sol is taught by ear. About Voca Sol And Where: Voca Sol is a daytime choir of about 35+ people. We meet every Thursday from 1:30-3:00 pm at the Wesleyan church, corner of Sunnyside and Grosvenor. The repertoire is a mix of Folk, Jazz, and Gospel, with a few surprises thrown in! You can join anytime. It's pretty casual, and we have a social aspect as well. There's no need to be able to read music, but scores are available. Because a lot of our members are seniors, the attendance is a bit more relaxed than most choirs. We learn new songs all the time, so it's easy to jump in. It usually takes about 2-3 months to catch up with the songs in circulation, and I provide mp3s to help you learn at home. Just show up on any Thursday to check us out. The only ‘audition’ is just to see what your range is, or if you are tone-deaf (rare occurrence). If you like what you see and hear, then join us! About Lee: Lee Hayes is an award-winning songwriter, and CFMA nominee. You may remember her from her Malaika and Cantarra days; two all-female vocal groups from the Ottawa region. Lee is a Master harmony arranger and Ottawa’s premiere vocal instructor.
