Shape Note Singing Workshop Series

Shape Note Workshop Series Two sessions: Sunday April 27, 3:30 - 5 pm and Sunday May 18, 4:30 - 6 pm Join workshop leader Nancy Mandel and special guests for a series of workshops on the American tradition of Sacred Harp singing, also known as Shape Note singing. Shape Note's special notation makes reading the tunes easy (or easier, anyway) in pursuit of the tradition’s goal: energetic, heartfelt, and bone-tingling community music-making in which everyone, with or without musical training, can participate. And it works! You will be singing throughout the workshop. This miniseries will teach how to read the shapes and will also introduce students to shape note’s history and culture. Melodies will be taught both via the notation and by ear. The sessions can stand alone -- we’ll cover the basics both times -- but the second will go deeper. Come to one or come to both! Nancy Mandel has been singing Sacred Harp for 16 years. She leads the monthly Brooklyn three-book singing, has done (nearly) all the big-singing jobs from registration table to Chair, and found the Prospect Park loggia for Covid-era outdoor singing. We’ll also have visitors from the New York Sacred Harp community.
