"I was in desperate need of a hobby and really wanted to start taking a class in something. A friend showed me The Rhody Center's website and I was so excited to see everything they had to offer. Dancing, instrument lessons/jam sessions for beginners to advanced, singing, kids classes, etc. I joined Singing Sirens as I always loved taking chorus in high school and have only dabbled in the occasional karaoke sessions since then. The class is so much fun, the instructor is awesome and makes you feel totally at ease, and you leave wanting to practice as much as you can! Going to class and singing is the highlight of my work week." - Sarah C.
