About

Music that Makes Community (MMC) practices communal song-sharing that inspires deep spiritual connection, brave shared leadership, and sparks the possibility of transformation in our world.  MMC offers resources, training, and encouragement to individuals, organizations, and communities in the dynamic power of singing to connect others and ourselves.

You can learn more about Music that Makes Community at https://www.musicthatmakescommunity.org/

The Music that Makes Community  (MMC) ABQ Song Circle  normally meets the 1st Tuesday of each month, from 6:30-8pm at rotating locations. 

Come practice sharing, teaching, learning, and singing "paperless" songs in the context of a supportive community of fellow singers and song-lovers!  Whether you'd like to experience how we can share songs in the oral/aural tradition, build your confidence as a song-leader, or just enjoy the "good medicine" of singing with others in community, we'd love for you to join us. All ages and abilities welcome!

The Birds will sing you a song

Movement by Sylvia Miller-Mutia,

The birds will sing you a song
If you listen, if you listen.
​
The earth will show you a path
when you pay attention.

This song may be sung in a round.

Variations of this  movement meditation might be done individually, with a partner, or with a group (in a single circle, or in concentric circles going opposite directions).
