🎤💙A little bit about me and my mission💙🎤
All of my life there was an “inner” singer & performer bursting to break free but due to a major lack of confidence and belief in myself that side of me remained hidden firmly away behind closed doors!
It wasn’t until my late forties that I finally found some confidence in my voice whilst working at a local care home. I quickly found that singing with the dear residents had a profound effect on their emotions, mental health and memory.
This in turn had a powerful effect on me!
I had a realisation that my voice can make a big difference!
Importantly It never depended on my talent or if I was perfectly in tune, they didn’t seem to notice if I fluffed the lyrics. It was simply a beautiful oppurtunity to share a special experience together.
I had found my calling in life. 🤍
It was during this time that I had some Divine inspiration to take this a step further by singing at carehomes around Norfolk.
I have now been doing this work full time for over a year and it has been the most rewarding, heartwarming work of my life so far.
So here I am…going another step further.
Again Divine inspiration has been nudging me, I’ve been dreaming about the ideas for this Harmony choir.
I am beyond excited but also pretty nervous as I’ve never taken on a role of this magnitude before.
The nerves are an excellent sign though that I’m pushing through my comfort zones, which has always paid off in dividends for my self confidence.
And so The Wayland Songbirds Harmony Choir is coming to Watton early 2026. This group will be a safe place to show up exactly as you are!
Any perfectionism or self imposed pressure will be left at the front door.
My journey has taught me the importance of owning my imperfections and to allow myself to shine in my role regardless.
As a group and as individuals this will be our superpower!
There are no specific requirements to join the group other than a passion for singing, a good ear for what sounds pleasing and a willingness to learn the songs in your own time.
The group will be a co-creation with all of us choosing the songs and sharing our unique ideas.
The more creativity we explore in our vocal expression, the better the experience for all of us, including the audience.
Everyone has a voice here.
No matter if you’re shy, awkward, anxious, a born performer, or a bathroom singer. You’re all welcome. There is room for all of us and all of our unique human expression.
I’ll have lots more to share soon as and when I have the details, on the venue, cost, which evenings, regularity etc.
for now though I’ll leave it here. Please follow The Wayland Songbirds page to be kept up to date with all the information.
Until next time, keep Singing loud and clear for all to hear. Your voice makes a difference. 💙
