Strum & Sing is for anyone who wants to strum an instrument while singing a song. All you need is a well-tuned strumming instrument, the ability to play an A, D, E and G chord, and a sense of humor! We will break it down and build it up, with an emphasis on fun and musicality.

When I started leading the Freight & Salvage Women’s Singing Circle in 2011, I wanted a group that sang together for joy, levity, and comfort. In Strum & Sing, we begin the process of integrating the instrument into our vocal practice. I find an instrument helps me perform songs,  lead songs in a group, and learn songs consistently. Over the years I have tried various guitar instruction methods, but I often find they are heavy in theory and soloing. We will focus specifically on strumming and the richness it brings to singing a song. I will also tuck in some vocal tricks and warm-ups and aim to increase both confidence and motivation, leading to more playing and more music!
