SINGING WORKSHOPS

I have been designing and leading workshops for 10 years, and have worked with a wide client base including well-being groups, choirs, dementia day services, actors, learning disability day services, stroke survivors, musical ensembles, older people groups, office away days, friendship groups, and schools. Just get in touch to let me know what you would like and I can plan a session that will be as accessible or challenging as you need.  

WOMEN’S VOCAL HEALTH

I’ve been feeling for a while that I need to support women to sing during this delicate stage of life. It’s something we don’t talk about enough, and often feel ashamed of. But, our voices change. Our bodies change. It’s normal!

It breaks my heart that women stop singing during this time, and mourn the voice they feel they have lost. I want to help women feel that they can enjoy the voice they have now.

The workshops will contain a mix of gentle stretching and core strengthening, yoga techniques for breath, and singing exercises for reconnection and exploration. They are on zoom, so I can’t hear you, and you can choose to attend them from a safe space for you. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.

West Norwood Tea Dance - Singing and dancing for older people living in care

There is so much research about the benefits of singing for older people, in terms of health and well-being. It is a group activity which can lift mood and rebuild confidence in the participants. Workshops for older people focus on inclusivity, creative expression and enjoyment. Workshops can be participatory or passive. For more information or a quote, please write stating your needs via the Find out More page.

“I felt I learnt a whole lot more about timing, breathing and holding a note, and even trying a harmony- if I’ve really begun to understand that- at least I felt in this workshop I could try it, so that was a first for me.Brilliant. I would really love to attend any future similar workshop”
