Singing is the birthright of every human being. Some say that language grew out of singing, and that singing began as communication with the sounds of wind and water, birds and other animals. In our world, where we are more and more isolated electronically, singing is our connection to the world around us and to each other.
Any Body Can Sing is a singing community that welcomes all Coastal Senior College members free of charge. We will meet in person from 10:00 a.m. to noon on the third Monday of each month at 38 Elm St., Damariscotta, the Midcoast UU Fellowship meeting space.
The group will begin with meetings in April, May and June, completing the 2025 - 2026 educational year. Starting with the Fall Term of 2026 - 27, we’ll meet on the third Monday of each month from September 2026 to June 2027.
Each meeting will begin with familiar songs, sung in unison, chosen to fit the theme of the month. We’ll break into groups to sing some easy songs in parts, then finish up with a piece that has a little challenge to it.
No musical experience is necessary. Experienced singers are warmly welcomed as well. Choral director Susan Borg offers helpful pointers about comfortable singing as we go along. Your voice is welcome exactly as it is. You may be surprised by what your voice can do when it is supported by a singing community!
Susan will choose themes and songs for the first three meetings to get the group rolling, but suggestions from group members are always encouraged.
