Wednesday evenings in Bellingen. St Andrew's fills with voices as people wander in from their day, forming our circle in the open space. 

This is where I first stepped away from traditional choir structure, creating instead a casual singing space where anyone can join. We learn the way humans have always learned songs – by ear, through simple repetition, letting our voices find each other naturally. No musical experience needed. No one sings alone.

Some come every week, others drop in when they can. Each session stands alone, yet builds on the simple joy of filling this old church with harmony. I teach using loops and layered harmonies, a method that lets everyone find their voice without pressure or performance.
