Limited space! If you are interested and would like to give Sacred Harp a try, please email Allyson at allysonplumberg@gmail.com

ACHEV Mom, Allyson Plumberg, is leading monthly Sacred Harp singings at her home in Camarillo. Sacred Harp is a form of a cappella worship music that uses “shape notes”, and has its roots in the early American church. The music has a distinctively raw style and sound. Check out this brief intro video to Sacred Harp music.

Generous donors from the Sacred Harp community gifted Allyson with 16 copies of the new 2025 Sacred Harp book for the purpose of growing Sacred Harp music within her homeschool community!

No previous music ability necessary! You are welcome to come try it out if you’re on the fence. Plan on committing to the group for the year if you want to participate beyond that.

What: About an hour of basic instruction reading shape notes and singing from the Sacred Harp. Allyson will help break down the parts as needed. We will review songs from previous months, learn a new song or two each session—and most importantly—enjoy worshiping together!

Optional: After singing, we can walk over to the Pleasant Valley Soccer Field park (2 min walk) and let the kids play for a bit afterwards. Looking at about 1.5 hrs total, including park time.

Who: ACHEV Members of all ages (moms and dads too)! We have toys for little ones who may not be ready to sing yet.

When: We meet on the 2nd Monday of every month at 9:30 am. If you join us for the park afterwards, we will wrap that up around 11/11:15 am.

Where: Located near the Camarillo YMCA. Exact address will be provided upon RSVP to Allyson at allysonplumberg@gmail.com
