Westchester Chordsmen Offer Free Singing Lessons

WHITE PLAINS — Starting Monday, Feb. 26 and continuing for six consecutive Mondays, the Westchester Chordsmen Chorus will offer six free singing lessons to men in and around the county as a community service. The six-week program provides coaching and instruction to teach new singers how to sing, and experienced singers how to sing better. The simple curriculum will take participants from basic fundamentals to advanced concepts, regardless of their current singing ability.

Four previous series were attended by more than 60 men.

Why do this? We all sing in our own way… in church or synagogue, in the car, in the shower. But many of us are unsure of our ability or of singing in front of others. The Chordsmen want to help you get the most beautiful sound possible from your voice, with the confidence to perform.

The offer is available to men young and old, who have always wanted to sing, or want to improve their skills. No prior musical experience is needed.

The lessons will be led by Keith Harris, who has more than 20 years of vocal teaching experience and leads the music team.

Lessons take place Monday evenings from 6:45 to 8:15 p.m. starting Feb. 26 and continue for six weeks, at Kol Ami Synagogue, 252 Soundview Road, White Plains. Attend just one night or complete the whole series.
