What is Vocal Play Lab?

Vocal Pay Lab is a creative playground for your voice.
It’s part music studio, part soulful sanctuary and is a place crafted for connection.

What We Believe

We believe your voice is more than sound—it’s a doorway to healing and joy.  

We believe in play, in presence, in singing for the love of it.  We believe there’s no such thing as a wrong note.  We believe every voice—shaky, strong, quiet, bold, is worthy of being heard.  And we believe in following the music wherever it wants to go.

Vocal Play Lab is a place where people of all ages can explore and rediscover what their voices can do in community when it's free from pressure, perfectionism and performance.

Through vocal improvisation, circle singing, embodied sound and playful music experiences, souls will reconnect with their creativity and rediscover the power of their own voice.

We will gather to listen deeply, express freely, and follow our voices wherever they lead. Read through our FAQ section for some more juicy stuff.

Founded by Heather Rene, Vocal Play Lab grew from a simple truth.

Everyone is musical.

Whether you're three or 83, your voice deserves the space to grow, play and shine.

Vocal Play Lab experiences are playful, inclusive and rooted in the belief that singing isn't just for singers.

  • Play is the work of life and we need to remember what is is to cultivate spaces in community to play and create every day. PLAY is our work!

  • We believe in laughter, in community and in creating beauty together in real time.

  • Vocal Play Lab is your “permission slip” to have fun again! Let your soul out of it’s cage and your voice can take flight!

  • No sheet music, no performance, no perfection - just you, your breath and a room full of curious humans ready to make something beautiful together.
