FAQ

  • Do I need to be a "good" singer to join?

    Not at all! You don’t need any prior experience or musical training — just a willingness to join in. These gatherings are for everyone, and all voices are welcome.

  • Is this a choir? Will we perform?

    Nope. The Cinci Sing is all about singing for the joy of it, not for an audience. There’s no performance, rehearsal schedule, or pressure. Just songs shared in the moment and held in community.

  • What kind of songs do you sing?

    We sing songs that are easy to learn and deeply satisfying to sing together — often folk-inspired, harmony-rich, and rooted in themes of connection, nature, peace, and joy. Think: soulful, singable, and heart-opening. You can always sing any part you want - no pressure.

  • Why Sing?

    Singing is a proven way to boost your mood and well-being — it releases positive neurochemicals like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, acting as a natural antidepressant. It’s good for your brain, your breathing, your posture, and your overall health.

    And singing in community? Even better. The science backs it up — but more importantly, you’ll feel it when you spend an hour singing with us at a Cinci Sing gathering. Come see for yourself.

  • How do we learn the songs?

    I teach each song line by line, and the group echoes it back until we all know it by heart. Since we learn this way, we sing simple, beautiful songs that are easy to remember and a joy to sing together.

    We don’t use sheet music, and we don’t worry about getting it perfect. If you forget the words or miss a note, that’s totally fine — the whole point is to enjoy ourselves and connect through singing. We’re not performing. We’re just singing to sing — and you can’t get it wrong.

  • What if I like Choral Singing?

    Friends, there’s something for everyone who wants to sing with The Cinci Sing.

    I might teach a harmony, or you might be one of those enviable souls who can make up a harmony on the spot. Great! Sing it out. If you don’t want to sing harmony that day or ever, that’s perfect too. Because if everyone is singing a harmony, who is singing the melody? See how valuable you are singing that melody? 100% valuable.

  • Does April lead Sings at events or conferences?

    Absolutely. In a former life, April was kind of a real rockstar — so she’s right at home on big stages, leading large audiences in song. In fact, it’s one of her specialties. Whether you’re hosting a conference, corporate retreat, wellness gathering, or creative event, The Cinci Sing can bring a moment of joyful audience engagement tailored to your theme and community. Reach out to talk details — we’d love to sing with you.

  • Can I host a Sing at my Venue or Event

    We’d love that. We’re always looking to partner with bookstores, wellness spaces, community centers, and events that align with our mission of connection through song. Contact April at thecincising@gmail.com or the contact page on this website to reach out.

  • Where is Cinci Sing?

    We’re popping up all over Cincinnati — and we’re just getting started! Right now, you’ll find us popping up all around town because we’re even doing pop-up Sings!

    And hopefully, there’s a Sing near you! The best way to stay in the loop as we grow is to subscribe to this newsletter.
