Classes for all

Community singing

COMMUNITY SINGING

Once a week we get together to sing. This 45 minute class is a very traditional part of the folk high school concept. However, we do not only sing songs of an older date. We also sing new popular songs, radio hit songs and songs that you probably haven’t heard before. You are able to suggest your own favourite song and the students always find their common favourite song, which will remind them of this time throughout their lives. There is always a special atmosphere in the room when we sing their common favourite song. And normally, there are lots of favourite songs and lots of great atmosphere.

Singing brings joy to life and a feeling of community and the meaning of the songs can evoke new thoughts. Those are important aspects of a stay at Vejle Sports School.

The feeling of community and joy

Singing occupies a lot of space in the high school. Even if some will always have their doubts at first, the vast majority end up loving the group singing lessons. The feeling of community and joy wins over any skepticism, and that really gives me drive. Seeing the students have a good time arguing about which song is the best and why we should sing it. That shows dedication and love for the songs that makes me happy.
