Sharon already runs two choirs herself, as the founder and choral director of the Cranleigh Community Choir and the recently formed Dorking Community Choir. She is also teaching at any given time, individual students who belong to choirs (both classical and contemporary) and as such, is well aware of the types of problems they present with. As a classically trained singer herself and a singing teacher since 2000, Sharon is expert at helping students to overcome these problems.
So, if you feel that you or your choir would benefit from a half day learning about how to use your/their voices properly, then this fun, informative workshop is for you (if you have a larger choir, the half day workshop can be repeated, either in the afternoon of the same day or on another date, so that each group is not too big).
What happens on the workshop?
Choristers will learn:
- what constitutes bad vocal technique;
- how the voice is produced;
- the basics of correct breathing technique;
- the importance of correct mouth shapes;
- how to improve resonance and tone;
- how to produce glottal stops and understanding
when and why they are used;
- using the diaphragm correctly (although bear in mind
that it takes time to develop this muscle!)
- how to get high notes properly and understanding how
they are produced;
- learning to be economical with the breath;
- expression and dynamics;
- learning not to hold all notes for as long as possible!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN INTRODUCTORY
WORKSHOP. NOBODY IS GOING TO OVERCOME BAD TECHNIQUE IN ONE DAY! IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE OVER TIME, THEN YOU NEED TO CONSIDER HAVING INDIVIDUAL TUITION .
Fee
£10 per person for choirs comprising 25 choristers or more. Sharon is happy to discuss the individual needs of choirs or of small groups of choristers. Fee for groups under 25 is £15 for a half day's workshop.
Please don't hesitate to phone.........
