Choir to produce online singing workshops

1 Aug

The Brunswick Women’s Choir has been awarded a significant grant by VicHealth to develop and deliver a series of online singing workshops in 2011. The workshops will be available as video files for streaming or download via YouTube and our own website for no charge. An audio file of each song will be recorded in constituent parts (alto, soprano, tenor etc) for download, and the notated music will be available in PDF, also for no charge.

The public health benefits of singing and community arts participation are well-documented. The project aims to improve individual and social health through singing as a group activity, and to extend these benefits to those who may otherwise be unable to participate in a community choir due to distance, socio-economic circumstances, or physical health.

National recognition for impact on community wellbeing

13 Jan

Brunswick Women’s Choir has been named joint runner up in the second annual Music in Communities Awards in December 2009.

Its selection came from 170 entries across Australia.

The 2009 Awards were themed around wellbeing, and aimed to identify local music groups and programs whose benefits extended beyond music alone.

The Brunswick Women’s Choir received this very special recognition as a result of their use of music and singing to promote social justice and reconciliation.
