Bar Choir

• China
• Machinery Manufacturing

• Bar Choir Founder & Director

  • Aug 2018 - Feb 2020

  To build community through music, I started Bar Choir: a "pick-up" choir at First Street Brewing. Every month I'd arrange a pop song with three vocal parts, put together a small band, and then teach the song to the choir. If you're not in elementary school or go to church, when else do you get the opportunity to sing with your friends and neighbors? Bar Choir was a no commitment, no experience necessary, chance to participate in making music. It was a blast. Perhaps we can do it again post-pandemic. Show less
