Everyone Can Sing

You will be shown how to listen carefully, in order to sing in tune.  You will learn how to breathe effectively to sustain notes and you will be taught the powerful open-throated calling technique to project your voice.  You will experiment with arrangements to make songs come to life and you will be shown how to sing from the heart, moving others with your song.

Through a carefully balanced mixture of relaxation, laughter, breathing, listening, best practice vocal technique and lots of confidence development, participants frequently progress more than they thought possible and are sometimes moved. Everyone can sing and it’s great fun.
