I’m really excited to be running a series of workshops in 2024, which I’ve named ‘Saturday Sings’. For each workshop, I’ve invited a fantastic guest choir composer, and we will take it in turns to teach our own original SATB harmony songs. Who knows, you could be the first group of singers to ever sing this material!
Saturday Sings 2024 Series:
- 23rd March – Helen Chadwick & me
- 11th May – Katy Rose Bennett & me
- 15th June – Anna Tabbush & me
- 13th July – Emily Roblyn & me
- 12th Oct – Ben See & me
- 16th Nov – Helen Yeomans & me
PRICE? £45 standard rate, inc lunch, teas, coffees and cakes. (Low Income/Higher Earner options available).
All are welcome! We are Natural Voice Network leaders and all songs will taught by ear so there is no need to read music.
**Please note – All workshop orders placed before 18th June will not incur any payment processing fees (as I have been given an offer by the provider). After this date all orders will have a 3.9% payment processing fee added at checkout (eg £1.75/ £45 General ticket).**
12th Oct 2024 – Ben See & Rosie Sleightholme
For the penultimate workshop in our Saturday Sings workshops, I have the wonderful Ben See as guest composer.
