WHAT IS A HUM?

"Bonnie Barnett created the HUM in 1981, with a small, acoustic vocal event in San Francisco. A short verbal score, or list of instructions, outlines the process of breathing, humming and singing, all in a harmonious major tonality. Anyone can participate in a HUM — no musical or vocal technique or experience is necessary. There will be instruments at the HUM, playing the chord, so it will be easy to blend in even without any musical training! Singing together in harmony creates a wonderful feeling of community, of being part of a group. Singing is vibration – vibration is movement – movement is change. When we sing, we feel good, we fill ourselves with enthusiasm. ©Bonnie Barnett 1999 All rights reserved..."
