My approch a user-friendly way to learn to singing and performing. It is designed for people who want to sing and who have thus far lacked THE COURAGE, do so; for shy or timid people who are nervous about expressing themselves through their voice; for the complete beginner who has had no formal training; for people who want to experience the joy and sense of well-being that comes from singing; for people coming back to singing after a long break or to assist in teaching children. No previous experience is necessary.
It is a holistic; mind, body, spirit and emotions approach to singing meaning it aims to give people the practical skills as well as the emotional, psychology and in-spirit-ational support to start singing. Many of my students have had the desire and passion to sing for some time but not the “COURAGE” or training to make it a reality.
I offer you a creative way to to challenge yourself and learn more about who you are in the process.
My background is in music and psychology and I give you the leading edge self-expression, confidence building, team bonding, and communication techniques on the planet today to help you. I use all the latest most cutting edge techniques from Success Psychology, Mindfulness, Meditation and The Healing Arts and the very best MUSIC to transform your ability to sing in just a few short sessions.
My approach gently encourages you out of your comfort zones while supporting you at the same time. This enables you to grow both individually improving general communication skills on all levels. The identical skills you need to communicate more effectively in a range of different situations are developed through singing and the techniques Ialso offer are useful for leadership development as well as personal growth and self-development.
I have run singing workshops and rock and pop choir events for private individuals and also for a wide range of companies, from law firms, recruitment firms, the staff in hospitals, teachers, industry manufacturers, retail firms, charities and PR and media firms. I am just as comfortable with 200 delegates from a large multi-national organisation as we are with a group from a public sector organisation or small businesses.
THE COURAGE TO SING has a fantastic track record of getting even the most reticent and out of tune people to sound amazing in our events around the country. Our approach is upbeat, highly motivational and interactive. No previous experience is required and you don’t need to be able to read music, hold a tune or keep rhythm. The terrified and tone-deaf are welcome! There’s no audition and you won’t be put on the spot. The emphasis is on fun, lifting our spirits and singing our hearts out, for the love of it! We offer a diverse range of musical styles from classical to gospel, Motown to musical theatre, harmony to folk songs and even themed events.
You will be singing Pop, Rock, Mowtown, Gospel and World music arrangements of contemporary music styles and like a show choir, use simple choreography to bring extra energy and impact to your performance – we’re talking lifting arms and clapping rather than high kicks and spins though, so don’t worry!
As a team building event; special party; celebration or for a larger event to bring delegates together in unique, moving and challenging way, our very expert and humorous Trainers take your delegates through a brief vocal training warm up (5mins max we promise) and then get your delegates to sing though specially prepared arrangements of well-known easy to learn songs. Once we feel you have the basics we teach you a few simple harmony parts that even a deaf person can sing and depending on the time available we might ask for a brief vocal solo from a more confident member of your new choir like the MD for example! We put the whole thing together in a grand finale and hey presto! You are the performers, the performance and the audience all wrapped up into one. A before and after video story of the day is also a great gift to give your delegates as a memento.
For large companies with multiple branches — any variation on the theme of this fun project could be worked out in advance with our Choir Leaders to rehearse delegates from different branches and bring them together for a huge BIG SING major event. Up to several thousand delegates can become a Choir singing songs having rehearsed the parts at their branch rehearsal in advance.
