You CAN Sing! 
​
Many say, "Oh, I can't sing".
The question is not, "Can you sing?" but "Do you want/need/love/long to sing?" If the answer is "Yes" then, what are you waiting for!?

YOU may think you can't sing, but you CAN. Most people are just scared to try as they feel vulnerable and exposed, showing such a personal part of themselves. You are in good company in our choirs. Every one of our singers has felt like this, at some point.

In a Voiceworks Natural Voice Choir I will work on helping you focus on listening and not just 'hearing' the music, focusing your attention on the most important sense a singer has; their hearing.

EVERYONE has a musical ear.  Once you've listened, you can memorise. Once you've memorised, you can relax and enjoy being the singer. And, you'll be memorising all the time, as long as you're listening! Once you allow yourself to listen to the music, the possibilities are endless.

"Voiceworks is not just about singing, but well-being and fun too! Not to be missed.." KATHRYN, London 


Your Musical Ear
Sheet music and/or words are provided and, whether you're actually reading the music or simply following the shape of the notes, your musical ear will be keeping track of everything, if you allow it to.

Words and/or music are provided to assist with the learning of the music until such a time as we feel able to throw them aside and go with the flow".

"I can't recommend Voiceworks highly enough! 'Always feel totally relaxed afterwards no matter how stressed I am to begin" :) JC, London


Your Strong Body 
At the start of every choir session you'll be limbering up your body with stretching and breathing exercises. 
If we are to be free and strong in our voices, then our bodies must feel free and strong.

To be present in the body before singing is to feel the source of our singing voice. If we think of singing as an extension of speech, all that changes is that the brain responds to pitch (melody or harmony) and backs you up with a change in muscle tone and breath support in order to sustain the musical phrases.

We do this without thinking - this is the best way! As soon as your body knows it is about to vocalise, breath support muscles, and the larynx, are poised, ready to bring the sound on! 


Inhibitions
