| | | Greetings!
I hope you are all well. I feel so grateful for our community right now. Music provides so much solace, joy, and opportunity to express ourselves.
The weather is changing around us, inspiring the opportunity to spend time outdoors and soak up the sun. We continue to face the extraordinary challenges of a pandemic. And we are in the midst of a profound protest movement to solve racial inequities in our society.
I find myself turning inward, learning about own racial bias and blindspots. I feel so moved by the ways members of our community are speaking out - working for justice, standing for what is right, and serving others around them.
I find myself in constant waves of emotion about the pandemic - at times overwhelmed by the heaviness of this widespread challenge. And at times so hopeful about the ways we are able to connect and support one another.
As a teaching staff, our whole team has enjoyed the incredible ways we can make music and continue our lessons and classes via online platforms. The music has lived on in a way we never would have suspected.
Our teachers and private students have worked very hard to learn new music and refine ongoing projects. Our Virtual Concert this coming Sunday will put all this hard work on display!
Additionally, our SoulSinging classes continue to meet virtually. These classes have a created a new set of songs, recorded individually and assembled together. Through the magic of modern technology, they sound just a beautiful as always with this new format. We will be premiering our second set of "virtual choir" recordings at the Virtual Concert Sunday.
You can read more details about the event below. We hope you will be able to join us! And you'll need a private link to join - so just drop us a line to get the link!
Now, and always, we are here for you.
Hugs,
Daniel Buchanan Founder, Resound NW |

Experience the power of singing together!
What is SoulSinging?
SoulSinging is an innovative group singing journey that is equal parts choir, singing class, and supportive community. While exploring exciting and diverse musical styles, this group empowers participants to be holistic, mindful singing artists. Focusing on the skills and attention required to create dynamic ensemble performances, participants will learn the potency of singing together.
SoulSinging includes the following:
*Weekly classes with engaging group and solo singing and occasional public performances
*Diverse musical styles rich in harmony, rhythm, and inspiring lyrics, such as folk music from around the world, classical choral music, contemporary pop, musical theater, jazz, and group improvisation
*Opportunities to hone your skills both as an ensemble singer and as a solo artist
*A supportive and safe cohort of people with whom to learn and take new risks
*Extensive individual and group coaching from the Resound NW staff to work on your musical skills. The Resound NW staff has years and years of experience teaching voice and performing professionally. We have taught hundreds and hundreds of people from all walks of life to sing.
*Observe the measurable progress happening with your voice and the voices of the other students in your group
Ultimately, we will learn that we are not alone. We will learn that there is endless possibility with our singing. And we will unlock the full potential to express ourselves through our voices.
We look forward to taking this journey together!

"I think SoulSinging is superb and Daniel is a complete delight as a teacher. I’m happy to report that this class was even better than I had hoped it would be. The instructor, Daniel, made me feel very welcome from the minute I walked in the door and the sense of community was very apparent as everyone seemed genuinely glad to have me there. I loved the warm up and the round of singing games that were played at the beginning of class. Everyone participated and it was a blast. Daniel has a talent for picking the correct song for your voice so you actually feel comfortable. The entire group is extra warm and supportive so that anyone will feel successful."
