Open access community choirs & performance groups. Healing, power of the voice, breathing, qi gong.
I run 6 choirs in the Highlands and Moray. I trained in theatre/voice and movement at Dartington College of Arts, and have over 40 years’ experience as a drama teacher, theatre practitioner, healer, musician and choir leader.
My focus is on the healing qualities of the voice and singing together, as well as performance. I recently trained in Singing for lung health and Qi Gong and I like to specialise in the use of the breath.
I use songs from around the world, as well as creative vocal improvisation.

In addition to learning a variety of songs, the group includes breathing and voice exercises to help develop the power quality and range of the voice. The emphasis is on learning by ear for simple songs and written music can be used for the more complex arrangements.
