TESTIMONIALS

“I came to Lila Community Choir wanting to sing and very shy about my voice. This choir is a safe, welcoming and fun space to find my voice and to sing.”
Valley Voice
"I’m very shy about hearing my singing voice, and when I am in the choir, you are always so positive, that I share my voice by feeling less inhibited."
Choir Participant
"I came to Lila Community Choir wanting to sing and very shy about my voice. This choir is a safe, welcoming, and fun space to find my voice and sing."
Nancy Surkes
"I sleep so much deeper on the nights that I sing with you."
Debra Wapple
"The exercises and the way you present them, allow for a new energy to emerge and carry my voice, that I have never experienced in the 3 other choirs that I sang with."
Choir Participant
"Your choir is music therapy. Mid-week, it provides a lush, refreshing, replenishing oasis in time. I may be tired, worn-out and interested only in resting after a busy day. Then I rush off to your choir, thinking I’m crazy to be adding yet another thing to the schedule – then sing my heart out, laugh, struggle to memorize the harmonies – and leave feeling renewed and re-energized, joyful, and unable to contain the music we’ve shared."
Zoe Dalton
"I don’t consider myself a singer and never imagined I’d be in a choir, but I was going through a period of deep loneliness and grief, and began searching for ways to heal. As an experiment, I tried the choir. From the first sound we made, I knew I was in the right place. Cari and the Lila Community Choir taught my weary body how to be joyful again, that we are all connected, and the world is ultimately a kind place. Thank you for what you do. You are a source of healing in the world."
Debbie
Cari’s dedication to bringing community together through song and music is beyond impressive. It is the people, from babies to elders, she meets day in and day out that inspire her to continually bring singing and music as a way to unify us all.

“I am, because you are. I need you to be you so that I can be me. A choir is a choir only because its different parts work together harmoniously. Yes, a person truly is a person only through other persons. God bless you in your noble endeavour.”
— Nobel Laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu
