Singing has a unique way of bringing people together, creating a shared experience that is both uplifting and transformative. At Newport Sings’ Community Sing, members from the Looking Upwards community gather to experience the power of group singing, fostering connection, joy, and a true sense of belonging. But don’t just take our word for it—hear from the participants themselves!

A Space for Fun and Connection
For many, Community Sing is more than just a chance to sing—it’s an opportunity to interact, form friendships, and enjoy making music together. Marina, one of our enthusiastic participants, shares:
"It's a good way to meet people and it's good to interact with people and just be able to have fun singing with everyone. [You get to] enjoy yourself and sing your heart out!"
There’s something magical about singing alongside others, harmonizing, and feeling the energy of a shared melody. It’s a place where voices blend, laughter fills the air, and each song becomes a collective experience that strengthens bonds among participants.
Fostering Inclusivity and Belonging
Music has the ability to transcend barriers, and Community Sing is built on the foundation of inclusivity. It welcomes everyone, regardless of skill level, experience, or background. Lilly beautifully captures this feeling:
"[Singing with Community Sing] makes everyone feel free and included and together."
Whether you’re an experienced vocalist or someone who simply enjoys singing in the shower, Community Sing provides a supportive and judgment-free environment where every voice matters. The joy of singing together creates an atmosphere of unity, reminding us all that music is meant to be shared.
The Power of Collective Music-Making
Beyond the joy and inclusivity, participants of Community Sing also appreciate the sense of purpose and collaboration that comes with group singing. Vince expresses how meaningful it is to be part of something bigger than himself:
"We all look forward to rehearsing. Being able to come together and work towards a common goal has been really special. It's been really fantastic."
Working on music together, preparing for performances, and striving for a common goal fosters a deep sense of fulfillment. There is a shared commitment to creating something beautiful, and with every note, participants experience the power of teamwork and artistic expression.
