As is always the case, no music literacy is required; all will be taught by ear. We will learn some harmonies and rhythms, and soak in the meaning and collective energy of these beautiful tools for transformation that we call songs.

Join us!
Interested in joining Lift the Spirit Cville? You are welcome!
We do NOT require auditions, previous experience, or the ability to read music. We do require:
You miss no more than three rehearsals in a season (see below).
You pay dues as you are able to support the work of our facilitators, our rehearsal space, and the songwriters and publishers of our repertoire (see below).
You stay home if you are sick.
We support one another's intentions for the season, intentions like: "community," "love," "joy," "creativity," and "connection!"
Our Next Season: August- November 2026
Rehearals are every Tuesday from 7:00 - 8:30 pm at Park Street Christian Church (1200 Park Street, Charlottesville). Doors open at 6:45 pm for socializing. We start on time.
Key Dates: TBA
FAQ:
What if I need to miss a rehearsal?
Let us know. If you need to miss more than three rehearsals, please consider waiting until another season when you're able to more consistently hold the space with your singing partners.
How much are dues for the season?
TBD (Usually around $100 per person, per season to support the work of the facilitators, songwriters, and our host space).
What if dues aren't "do-able" for me?
Please sing with us anyway! We have scholarships and sliding scales available. We do not want funds to be the reason that anyone is unable to sing with us. Just reach out to liftthespiritcville@gmail.com to let us know.
