Perfection-Free Community Singing aka Paperless Singing
is the fastest way for friends and strangers, experienced musicians and uncertain singers, to make a beautiful sound together.
Timothy has been a song carrier for 20 years.Timothy created Perfection-Free Singing Circle in Los Angeles four years ago then moved back to Minnesota in 2019, since then Perfection-Free Singing has met weekly in Minneapolis.
It is not a religious event though a buddhist song, a hindu song, a christian song, a shanty song... might be sung.
The main goal is to pay attention to each other and to be together in beauty, joy, grief and sound.
THIS IS LIFE.
"Paperless" means we listen and learn BY EAR. We do not look at words or music.
EVERYONE can do it.
And of course, half of singing is listening so if you'd like to just come listen that is fine too.

Upcoming Workshop:
Perfection-Free Community Singing at ASPEN CHAPEL. "I have sung at Aspen Chapel a number of times and the last time I was there I asked Nicholas (the amazing leader of that community) 'Can I create a song circle here... next summer?' He said yes. I asked because the space is stunningly beautiful, patterned after a specific French chapel. One can feel the rightness in its humble size... and its thoughtful detail." -Timothy

the temple bell stops
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers
