No musical ability required, just enthusiastic participation! If you have more than one child please feel free to bring along another adult at no extra cost.

Introducing the tutor, Jo Randell: It was in 1996 or ‘97 that I offered to lead a singing group at KLC. Having enjoyed many KLC courses, I thought I’d like to have a go at leading one. From a rather timid start, Sing Your Heart Out has become an important part of my week – a time for songs and lovely company! Influenced by the Natural Voice movement, I have adopted the belief that anyone can sing and while acknowledging that some people find it difficult, I’m convinced that if you can speak, you can sing.  Apart from the benefits to the individual, I am fascinated by the community-building that comes from simply singing together. This shared experience creates a bond that transcends difference and feels wonderful, open-hearted and hopeful. The simple idea that singing together can lead to better understanding between us is what drives me and I’m thrilled to be in a position to encourage others to sing, for all the benefits that are now so well known.
Jo is also the co-founder of the ‘Madjitil Moorna: Singers of Aborioginal Songs’ choir and has received several awards for her service to the community through music, including the Medal of Australia in 2020.
