So you want to Sing?

Open to All Ages / Levels Day Workshop with meal

Want to sing but you think you cannot? Do people tell you, you cannot sing, or even please stop “your voice is killing my ears” and so you believe them? Or… have you heard yourself and think OMG I’ll just sing in the closet or my shower where no one can hear me. The best one is “I must be tone deaf, cause I cannot hit a tune at all.”

[Very few people are actually tone deaf – this is a physical construct in the inner ear and only about 5% of the population are actually tone deaf.]

The Facilitator Cilica’s answer to most things is YES and again YES…. then we find out how to achieve it. Singing is no different. We begin with a desire and go from there. Some people just want to carry a tune, others want to sing the latest pop or traditional songs and others want to sing in a choir.

Singing is fun and should be done for joy whether Amateur or Professional. All singing begins with a strong foundation. With this foundation you create power, soft/light highs, vibrant lows and a medium to small range that resonates.

Come have fun and change the way you think about your singing.

for adults and children

In this workshop, we play with rhythms, pitches, sounds, dance, movement, energy and explore the voice and music.  Explore and rekindle your childish side to singing and your voice and communication.  As a child, you had a natural voice, free from fear of singing or speaking, maybe a little shy but full of laughter and mischievousness, let us find this again.  Work on chanting, songs, sounds, speech, and more.  Come away energized and full of life.
