On The Day
The workshop starts at 10.30am but it is helpful to come earlier if possible especially if you haven’t been before so we can show you around - we will be there from 9.45am. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available when you arrive, throughout the day and for breaks.
We start with plenty of exercises to warm up the voice and stretch our bodies. We then split into 4 or 5 parts but you are free to move between them and try out different voice ranges. Women sometimes sing tenor, an octave higher if they wish. We then learn each part in turn, putting them together in stages to sing in beautiful harmony. All the leaders are very experienced and create a relaxed, fun learning environment.
We usually break for tea/coffee and biscuits in the morning but sometimes workshop leaders want to keep the energy going until lunch-time and there will just be a comfort break. If you like you can go to the kitchen to help yourself to refreshments at any time if you can tear yourself away (ideally not while your part is being taught!)
Please bring lunch to share (anything – it always works out!). Please indicate if it contains meat.
We nearly always break for tea/coffee etc. in the afternoon.
If you re-use your mug it will save washing up and no-one will frown!
It is wise to bring a bottle of water.
We learn about 4 – 6 songs during the day depending on the length and type of workshop.
We are available for any queries during the day and are always keen to hear any suggestions to make the day more enjoyable.
The workshop finishes at 4.30pm.
We hope you have a fantastic day.
