ABOUT

1 year creative coaching and upskilling programme for established singing facilitators

IS THIS FOR ME?

Yes, if you:

  • Have been regularly facilitating singing for anything from 3 to 30 years and beyond
  • Would like to deepen your skill, knowledge and confidence in musicianship and vocal anatomy (whatever your starting level)
  • Want to shine and lead confidently through your own unique style whilst enjoying cooperation and collaboration, not competition
  • Want to bring in more money and create a sustainable singing livelihood which reflects your time, care and commitment
  • Are excited at the idea of spending 3 to 6 hours per week taking part in sessions and actioning your learning
  • Want to develop your organisational skills, management, promotion and structure of your singing facilitation work
  • Are ready to be more visible online or in person, sharing what you do with greater confidence
  • Are interested in self reflection, personal growth and being held accountable to taking positive action
  • Are keen to upskill with the potential of expanding into fresh avenues, including 1-2-1s (yes you can!)

 

IT IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You have been facilitating singing for less than 3 years
  • You are not interested in earning a sustainable wage from your singing work
  • You are not ready to make changes
  • You cannot put in a minimum of 12 hours a month to the programme (you may be keen to do a lot more!)

 

BY THE END OF THE YEAR YOU WILL:

  • Be ready to coach one to ones, small acappella groups of all ages or work with audiences which you may not even have considered yet
  • Be stretching the boundaries of your musicianship and taking your new knowledge and ability to your students
  • Have a working knowledge of vocal anatomy – understand what it is you are hearing in the sound quality and how to help your singers adjust it, to suit the culture, genre, expressive feel or era of the song you are working with
  • Have the confidence to be much more visible both through promotion and in performances
  • Feel the value and unique beauty of your personal teaching style and gifts
  • Be excited about working collaboratively and not competitively
  • Be confident charging an appropriate fee for the value you give

Full information on how the year runs is on https://www.smilemymusic.com/coaching-for-singing-facilitators

It includes online training both live and pre-recorded, and a residential.

This programme has been created with NVN members in mind. Contact me, and we can arrange a discovery call to have a brief look into your current working picture and aspirations and whether this is the right programme for you. I look forward to hearing from you!
