Improvised Singing Workshops for Choirs
As well as teaching improvisers to sing we love to help singers to improvise. We have helped many singing groups dip their toes into the water of improvised group singing. Our emphasis is on fun and creativity and our approach is gentle and geared towards building the confidence of choir members for performance - improvised or not!
We've been lucky enough to work with several singing groups and choirs, here's what some have said:
"Fun and strangely moving. The most moving was the starting point where we sang with out eyes closed. It was a lovely escape from a drab school hall into a wood of my imagination. I can still see the vivid image it conjured up." Jeff White
"Joe and Heather, without previous introduction to the group, created a warm and trusting atmosphere in which we felt able to relax both as a group and as individuals. It encouraged us to explore our potential to improvise sounds and words to perform immediately rewarding songs. It will without doubt, allow me to contribute more confidently to improvisation sections within certain of the songs we sing as a choir. Altogether a positive and fun experience."
If you'd like us to come and run an improvisation workshop with your choir then please get in touch via openyourmouthand [email protected]
In the meantime you can hear the results of some previous choir workshops we have run by listening to these podcasts:
