Vocal Workshop for Beginners @ Lauderdale House
Jan 25 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

Novice singer that would like to improve? Come to Singing in London Workshop for Beginners and learn to sing from scratch in four hours!

The workshop will teach you singing skills step by step from basic level and will show you how to use your vocal range in both singing for fun and presentation for public speaking.

We’ll be working on singing and breathing techniques and will show you how to develop your singing skills.

Are you a soprano, an alto, a baritone or bass – you’ll find out at the workshop!

To round it off together we’ll prepare you for a short group performance at the end of the workshop.

We’ve chosen two beautiful songs to practice at the workshop: Magic Moments By Perry Como & Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. The workshop schedule & the song sheets with web links to practice will be emailed to you upon booking.

At the end of the workshop you will receive a certificate of achievement for completing the beginner level. You can follow it up with the 2nd Level workshop for Intermediates in February.

We limit places to our workshops so enrol now to secure your place before it’s booked up book online.

YOUR VILLAGE FAIR NEEDS YOU! @ The Woodman
Dec 1 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

The Highgate Fair in the Square is a highlight in the Highgate Summer calendar

when friends and neighbours come together in the Village for a fun day out and

welcome visitors from further afield.  The Fair promotes local societies, charitable

causes and businesses, provides a stage for talented local groups, children’s

activities and an exciting selection of stalls.

This event is free and takes place thanks to a team of volunteers.  Without their help

in setting up the Fair, stewarding and clearing up afterwards, the whole occasion

could not take place.  Several long serving members of the organizing committee are

standing down this year so we really need new faces to make next year’s Fair on

Saturday 11 June 2016 a success.

If you would like to help and become part of this amazing team we would like to hear

from you.  If you want to find out how you can help and what is entailed, the team

invites you to an open evening from 7.30pm on Tuesday 1 December at The

Woodman, 414 Archway Rd, N6 5UA.  If you can’t make this or would like further

details, please email: thefairinthesquare@gmail.com.

Crossing Continents: Ricardo Curbelo and Fiona Harrison in Concert @ Lauderdale House | England | United Kingdom

Ricardo Curbelo (Harp, Cuatro, Maracas, Vocals)
“A sheer delight to see and listen to” (Arran Music Society, 2016)

Fiona Harrison, (Classical Guitar)
“… a musician of great sensitivity both to her instrument and the mood of the music … gifted with a superbly confident technique.” (Hampshire Chronicle)

Travel on a rich and exciting musical journey with these two fine soloists.
Innovative Latin American harpist, composer and poet, Ricardo Curbelo, combines traditional music from a variety of Latin American countries, together with his own, spellbinding compositions. Vibrant, energetic and jazzy pieces contrast with more classical, enchanting melodies and tender vocals. He is delighted to share this concert with wonderful classical guitarist, Fiona Harrison, who will also present a fascinating and varied programme of music, crossing cultures and centuries from Renaissance England through to contemporary Japan.
