Joanna Harvey

Joanna leads Top of the World Singers at Well Bath. This is a community singing group, open to every voice in the room. Everyone is welcome. You do not need to read music, and you do not need to have sung anywhere before. If you can talk, you can be part of the room.

The repertoire is drawn from folk, world music, and simple harmony traditions. Joanna teaches by ear, layers the voices as the group learns, and holds the container while people find their sound.

The sessions run in blocks. Some people join for a single block, others stay through several. Both are welcome.

Joanna belongs to the Natural Voice Network, which believes singing is everyone's birthright, regardless of previous experience or perceived ability. She opens each evening with a vocal warm-up and breathing, then layers the harmonies gently as the group learns. Singing together lowers cortisol, softens stress, and supports the immune system; more importantly, it lifts the mood of a room in a way little else does.
