CHOIR WORKSHOPS
Tim regularly runs choral workshops for both individual
choirs and Choral Organisations like the National
association of, they are usually immense fun and cover a
wide range of ground They are a mixture of solid Choral
technique and insights into the music, presented in a fun
and engaging style, down to earth and understandable
by all, and yet in a couple of hours you will see the
difference. Singers will be given some of Tim’s Top Tips!
– Short easy remembered nuggets of information that
will help to improve your singers and build their
confidence. Typically, workshops cover warm ups,
breathing, vocal production, posture, work on the
repertoire in hand, clarity of diction and ‘getting behind
the words’… and can also include anything your
conductor feels is a challenge that needs to be overcome.
Here is a comment from one course:-
‘The event was a great success with more than fifty
singers attending. Tim’s stimulating and challenging
approach took singers by surprise. After loosening up
physically they tried a range of music (from great choral
works to nursery rhymes). Singers were encouraged to
‘think outside the box’ by adopting styles that they had
never dreamt of at the start of the day. Have you ever
tried to sing like an opera diva, a nun, a pirate or George
Formby! Even the cosy arrangement of singing with
similar voices was challenged as sopranos, basses, tenors
and altos were all mixed together for some sessions! At
the end of a great day all agreed that in future singing
would be more adventurous, less inhibited and much
more fun!
We all benefited from this experience greatly….
Great fun, instructive, inspiring, coached us to
produce a good sound…. Really enjoyed it.
