ABOUT CIRCLESONGS
Ciclesongs is a spontaneous vocal jam, an immersion in sound, creativity, and community through group singing, involving improvisation and collaboration. Developed by American vocalist Bobby McFerrin, this technique challenges participants to sing, invent, and explore. Circlesongs create spontaneous vocal compositions in a circle, with each individual contributing unique vocalizations, rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and invented languages.

I studied choir directing at the Inholland Conservatory and studied vocal improvisation at Bobby Mcferrin’s Circlesong School.
