Letz Sing Community Choir, led by Tina Filippino, is a departure from traditional choirs in that we do not use sheet music or written words. Each song is learned using the oral tradition of call and response. The repertoire of songs reflect a diversity of origins, inspirations, and cultures. Tina likes to choose songs participants can take with them and bring into the rhythms and routines of their everyday life.

Are you reluctant or hesitant about singing in harmony with others?

Many people who have had previous negative experiences with singing have found the Letz Sing Choir a comfortable and non-judgmental place to begin to sing again. When you become part of this choir, the focus is not on individual voices but the voice produced together. The key to singing  requires developing a quality of listening and focus. Tina's encouraging and relaxed teaching style makes this learning fun and exciting. 
After a short time in the choir, many first time and reluctant singers are surprised to find themselves spontaneously singing throughout the week.

There are currently three active Letz Sing choirs that meet weekly; Black Creek, Courtenay, and Comox. Each session includes a warm-up for the voice and body, introduction of new material and time to sing from a growing repertoire of familiar songs. Unlike most traditional choirs, there is no pressure to perform. Instead, at the end of each term, all choir members gather for a Big Sing. Here all three Letz Sing choirs join together to share a Sunday afternoon of singing the songs we have learned during the term. There are no spectators at this event. We gather for the simple pleasure of singing together. Big Sing events raise funds for various projects with the Caia Connection, and Kapasenni Project in Mozambique, as well as supporting local youth at Power of Hope Summer Camp. 

It is the intention of Letz Sing is that no one misses choir because of money; therefore a sliding fee scale is available for tuition on request. All inquiries are confidential.
