The Course
The Course
The week caters for singers of all styles and abilities, with a focus on Musical Theatre repertoire and solo singing. Whether you've been singing in choirs or local theatre companies, the relaxed and individually tailored approach means that your personal growth as a singer and performer is assured over the course of the week. A belief in focusing on, not only technique but also how you think, means that everything will be relevant to you - irrespective of your ability.
Tuition will be a mixture of group and individual sessions but there will also be plenty of opportunity to get everyone together around the piano, singing songs and having fun!
As well as focusing on your technique, we will explore a range of ancillary skills to improve your singing and musicianship, such as:
-
Warming up properly
-
How to learn songs
-
Vocal health
-
Audition technique
-
Solo singing
-
and much more…
In addition, in the evening after Dinner we can all relax and talk about whatever comes up. It can be music related or not. We will, however, offer a range of short talks on topics like:
-
Getting the most from your available practice time
-
Cognitive Learning techniques to accelerate development
-
Dealing with Performance Anxiety
-
Mindfulness
But if you'd prefer you can just relax, have a drink and ask questions in an informal environment. The house has a number of communal areas so you're free to join in or chill out somewhere else. Whatever you feel like.
There is space for non-singing partners to stay and there are plenty of places for them to explore while you are singing during the day.
Or they can just relax by the pool.....
"Perfect in every respect!!" - David M
The House
