About this Event
This is a session for ALL singers - Mandarin speaking or not! Pinyin lyrics will be provided for everyone.
This October, Please Sing Casually is back at homeground for a our first full Mandarin night featuring Jay Chou. Same 90 minutes of unhurried, pressure-free singing. Same welcoming community. On a Friday, at our homeground at Tai Seng.
If you have been with us before, you know what to expect — come as you are, bring your voice exactly as it is, and leave feeling a little more like yourself. If this is your first time, here is what we are about: no auditions, no performances, no need to impress anyone. Just people in a room, making sound together.
We will focus on vocal care and sustaining intense emotional songs, so you may enjoy singing/screaming and doing it in a safe manner. Our music is arranged in a way that it sounds good on its own, and also in harmony with others!
Songs we are singing:
- Jay Chou - Ge Qian
- Jay Chou - An Jing
Each session closes with a group-created song that gathers what we shared, heard, and felt along the way.
You are welcome to participate with your full voice, your quiet presence, or anything in between.
Persons with speech challenges and your loved ones are welcome to participate, such as persons with aphasia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. You are welcome to be accompanied by a caregiver if you require assistance.
