For adults

Singing for the Terrified

If you've always wanted to learn how to sing but are scared you are not good enough, this series of workshops teaching vocal technique through singing songs will bring out the vocalist within you.

Sing Together

Learn new songs and maybe some old favourites, but most of all, sing your heart out and have fun in the process.

Things Every Singer Should Know

This short workshop will teach you a few technical things that will immediately make your voice stronger and easier to control.
You will learn the following:

Never to scratch your voice
How to sing in different styles
What is the correct way to stand
Only use effort when it is useful
To not worry about breathing again
How to make your voice stronger
How to work with stage nerves
Increase stage presence easily and immediately

Song Interpretation

Work with Rebecca on making any song communicate clearly and effectively. Rebecca will ask you the key questions to guide you through interpreting a song easily and thus you will be able to inhabit it fully.

For children

All of the children's workshops can stand alone, or form part of a series of workshops.

Sing Together

The children learn new songs and some vocal technique as they go.

Drama – creating a play

This workshop is recommended for children who are confident communicators and happy being creative.

Working with drama games and guided improvisation the children will create a play that they can perform to an invited audience.

The theme for the work could be anything although Rebecca usually works within the curriculum.

Communicate and Create

For children to learn more about communication and self expression.

This workshop is recommended for children who are less confident communicators who are shy about being creative. It is very similar to "Creating a Play" but is more gentle and makes more use of drama games, bringing in guided improvisation more slowly.

Singing and Drama combined

Does exactly what it says on the packet. Both singing and drama, in one workshop.
