If you play an instrument or sing or both and are looking for a group to play music with lets see what we can create. I play a little harmonica and like to sing and have written a couple of songs. I have no formal training and don't read music. So if you are adventuresome and want to explore you musical side lets get together and make music . We are mostly accoustic at this time.

This is a group to collect/connect jazz musicians,jazz listeners/lovers, and dance lovers at a place where all these things are possible. Currently many clubs featuring great jazz don't have much space for dancing--strange because the fun of moving to music is so natural!

Dancing--all types, beats, etc. …

I believe that everybody can sing! That's why I've created this voice improvisation meet-up in Berkeley. My approach is inspired by the work of improv legends like David Darling, Bobbie McFerrin and local voice artist David Worm. Using a variety of games, activities and techniques we create one-of-a-kind "music" from next to nothing, using solely the human voice. There are no "wrong" notes and no "bad" voices in The Soundproof Room. The goal is for all participants to enjoy producing their own j …

This is not for original compositions or performers. Think of it as kind of live karaoke. Please be prepared to bring something good to eat for 8-10 people. Preferably vegetarian. We will provide paper goods so there will …

Like they do in Nashville, let's do some co-writing! Whether you specialize in lyrics, melody, chords, or all three, come join us with your partially-formed ideas to mix with others and form a tasty musical stew. This is different than other songwriting groups (i.e., it's not for bringing your already-written song for review by others, and it's not to learn how to write a song). Here we pool our talents and create one or two songs on the spot each time we meet.

This group is an attempt to bring people together who are either new to the city, or are locals but don't have a social circle anymore to hang out with. San Francisco has a lot of things to offer from and this life is too short to get bored. So, if you are a student/professional in your 20s or 30s in the bay area and have been wanting to check out that restaurant/movie/hiking trail or have been wanting to go to that concert or jam regularly with some amateur musicians or wanting to pick up tenni …

Hi there, my name is Erika, the organizer for the group and also the founder.  I'd like to tell you a bit about this group.  It's very dynamic in that you get to do just about anything that has to do with our classical music theme and friendship (e.g., audienceship, performance and learning). As facilitator of the group I do ask for at least a minimal commitment to the group in order to make it worthwhile for you and your fellow participants.  Your active participation is necessary!  This group …

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …
