“I have always wanted to be able to sing but I could never let anything come out that felt any good. Sylvia was so encouraging from the get-go. She started with something so simple, it made me feel like failure was impossible. I am amazed...I felt like I freed up part of myself that had been blocked all my life. I am so happy to have found a voice inside me and let it come out more. Sylvia made me feel like it is ok to sing; in fact it is important. She gave me confidence and I am so appreciative of her natural ability to teach, encourage, and lead. It is an honor to be in one of her classes because she simply has the most beautiful voice!! Thank you Sylvia!!”

“Before joining Sylvia’s “Sing Again”, I would only sing in my shower or alone in the car. Now I feel confident enough to sing at every given opportunity! I would recommend joining Sylvia's singing group and see how it changes your confidence level and draws you into the feeling of unity and community, through song! Sylvia Humble is an absolute gem at bringing people together for a fun array of music genres and song choices, as well as encouraging everyone to shine in their own unique way.”

“I couldn't get past just singing softly in the last 5-10 years.  The sessions really helped with projecting my voice, and with feeling less inhibited. I'm so glad I pushed through those feelings of apprehensiveness, and took advantage of the opportunity. To me the sessions made such a difference in the quality and joyfulness in singing. Sylvia’s tips on things like singing with more efficiency and with resonance, made a big difference… my voice has become stronger and more versatile with a better range and more solidity in the styles of singing, be it a big soulful sound, or a more tender higher range.

Sing Again has essentially provided “Rocket Fuel” for my singing… making even just singing around the house a more enjoyable, vivid, and alive experience.

I love the holistic approach to teaching/coaching that Sylvia has. It is a gift she has, that is shared with others!  5 stars out of 5!”

“I have loved being a part of Sylvia’s Sing Again group! Being out in the fresh air along with such a diverse group of individuals, all feeling free to release our best voices, has been soul quenching! I look forward to more of Sylvia’s competent, confident, compassionate leadership. I find myself singing for myself a lot more often, since being a part of Sing Again, as I now feel like I have a beautiful singing voice; thank you Sylvia ❤️”

From singing along with my mom as a child, to a professional trio when I was older, singing has been a natural part of my life. In 2018, after a catastrophic medical event, speech therapy was necessary. I was devastated at the possibility of never being able to sing again.

I committed myself to “Sing Again” where I was encouraged to sing with whatever voice I had. Each week I became more confident and less afraid. Sylvia’s harmonies had our voices blending magically. I am now singing more capably and with less tension, and my ability to pick up harmonies has improved as that part of my brain got a good workout.

For me “Sing Again” is therapy for my voice as I challenge it to be its best at this time in my life. It feels wonderful to join others in sharing our love of singing and be part of the community.

“I joined Sylvia’s Sing Again group a few months ago.  I was uncomfortable and self-conscious when I began.  I wanted to sing with more confidence and I dreamed about hitting those high notes.  Sylvia’s constant encouragement, positivity, and infectious enthusiasm helped me achieve those lofty goals.  I now enjoy using my strong voice and harmony styles. 

Sylvia introduced the group to a variety of singing techniques.  We practiced breathing and vocal exercises, a variety of harmony methods, and we experienced “circle singing” with improvisation.  We all had fun and laughed a lot!  Sylvia is thorough; when she introduces a new song, she provides lyrics, a recording of the song, and recordings of each vocal range. 

So, if you are interested in rekindling your passion for singing within a safe and nurturing environment, I recommend Sylvia’s Sing Again.”

“I missed singing with others so much after two kids and a pandemic scuppered my time as a chorister. Sylvia created a super friendly and warm atmosphere for us all to reconnect with the joy of singing together. She made us feel supported and safe. We had fun together and it was a beautiful experience! I highly encourage anyone else with rusty pipes and a love for harmony to spend some time in the singing community being built by the talented Sylvia at Sing Again.”

I’m not sure how long ago I stopped singing, but at the age of 74 it was certainly not a top priority to begin again. The odd time that I burst into song the sound was just an awful quivering croak. I met Sylvia on a dog walk and she convinced me to try out her singing classes and just enjoy finding my voice singing with a bunch of like-minded happy people who stepped out of our comfort zone to find freedom in singing. A big leap of trust on my part who was not convinced that I could sing with perfect pitch! However Sylvia’s classes turned out to be great fun, there was no pressure, just an easy acceptance, giving me the chance to find my own range in the harmonies of the songs. Sylvia’s classes are unique; finding one's voice and singing outside is a truly amazing experience.
