If you can talk, you can sing!
Sometimes learning to sing can seem a bit scary or hard, but this 6 week in-person course is a fun and easy way to get you started on your ‘learn to sing’ journey.
Who it’s for:
Anyone with a desire to sing!
Best for those with little or no experience singing. This could be a great first step if you’ve been considering taking private singing lessons, a refresher for those who haven’t sung for a while, or just a much needed dose of musical inspiration for music lovers. Maybe you only ever sing in the car and the shower, maybe you sang in choir when you were younger, or maybe you’ve taken a handful of singing lessons before.
Whatever your musical background is, this course is designed to be a gentle and enjoyable introduction to singing, and there is no pre-requisite knowledge! This course is designed for adults.
What’s included:
- 4 x 90 Minute Group Workshops (max 10 ppl)
- 2 x 30 Minute Private Lessons
- Handouts for Each Session
- Recorded Vocal Warm Up and Cool Down
What to expect:
A comprehensive introduction to singing for beginners. Learn basic voice techniques in a safe and friendly environment, and start to experiment with what your voice can do. Every session will include practical exercises, singing songs either solo or in a group, and strengthening your voice.
Handouts are provided for each workshop session, along with recorded warm ups and your own personalised backing track for a solo song, so it will be easy to develop your own at-home practise routine.
You will walk away feeling more confident in your singing voice, and knowing how to exercise and train your voice to become a stronger singer. There is no obligation to sing alone in front of the group, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself feeling so confident in your singing ability by the end of the course, that you are dying to get up and show off what you’ve learnt!
