There are several local shape-note singing groups in Georgia that meet four or more times a year for about 2 hours at a time. These singings are less formal than all-day singings. Since they meet frequently and tend to attract the same group of people each time, they offer an especially comfortable environment for practicing singing and leading skills. Newcomers are always welcome.
Be aware that locations can change and singings can be rescheduled or cancelled. Check our upcoming singings page for the latest information.

Our informal First Thursday singing is a good place for beginners in the Atlanta area to learn this style of music. We meet the first Thursday of each month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the Emory Presbyterian Church fellowship building, 1886 North Decatur Road, Atlanta, GA 30307. We sing from The Sacred Harp and the Eclectic Harmony. Loaner books available.
We are taking COVID precautions to protect our vulnerable community members. We ask that participants take an at-home test before departing and bring the details for verification, or arrive early to test on-site (tests will be available on-site beginning at 6:45 pm). Do not come if you are experiencing symptoms.
Directions: The church is 1/2 mile west of the intersection of Clairmont and North Decatur Road, on your right coming from Clairmont.
