Community Singing Playshop Series
6 weeks · 1.5 hours per week · Broadmead / Royal Oak, Saanich
Find your voice. Make harmony. Leave with songs for life.
This is a small-group singing series for anyone who loves to sing — or always wanted to but never gave themselves permission. Over six weeks we explore our voices together, build beautiful three-part harmonies, and create community around something deeply human: singing.
No experience needed. No auditions. No performances. Just singing.
What You’ll Experience
- Singing a wide range of songs — from meditative and moving to joyful and ridiculous
- Exploring three-part harmony in a supportive, low-pressure setting
- Trying different vocal parts to discover what feels right for your voice
- Learning everything by ear — no music reading required
- Receiving recordings and individual part tracks to practice between sessions
- Taking songs home to share with people in your own life
- Connecting, laughing, and growing together
How It Works
📅 Format
6 weekly sessions of 1.5 hours, plus a Big Sing potluck celebration in the final week. Minimum 12 participants for full harmony groups.
📍 Location
Broadmead or Royal Oak area of Saanich. Host the group in your home and participate free — a wonderful way to bring more song into your space.
🗓 Schedule
Day and time confirmed once we have enough interest. Sign up below and you’ll be the first to know when the next series is scheduled.
The Big Sing 🎉
The final week isn’t a performance — it’s a celebration. We host a potluck Big Sing where you can invite friends and family to join us, share what we’ve built together, and welcome more people into the joy of community singing.
Investment
Sliding scale: $90–120 for the full 6-week series
That’s $10–13 an hour — less than most exercise classes, and at least twice the fun.
Pay what you’re able within that range. If cost is still a barrier, please reach out. No one turned away for lack of funds.
What People Say
For years I was quite nervous to sing with others, but the moment I arrived at the group you’re leading, the fear was gone. No matter what level of experience we bring, we feel comfortable to sing — while making mistakes and having fun.
— A., Victoria
Bernhard is so pleasant and skillful in leading groups to sing together. The songs are simple to learn and the harmonies make it musically rich and interesting. He teaches songs that are uplifting and generate joy.
