No songs just beautiful harmonies and your chance to improve your voice and boost your confidence.

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.

Learn how to develop your singing voice from total scratch

You don’t need to have previous singing experience or be able to read music as this workshop will teach you the singing essentials of breathing techniques and vocal skills in four hours for £25.50.

Kieran and Idit will show you how to transform your speaking voice into a singing voice through practical techniques. Not only will these techniques help improve your singing but also your voice for presentations and public speaking. And that’s not all, for completing the Level 1 workshop you will receive a certificate.

It will be fun and entertaining and to help you we will email the song sheets upon booking so you become familiar with the chosen songs.

Feedback from Elaine who attended our Beginners Workshop in January: “I loved the workshop.  I thought it was very well organised.  As a complete beginner, the focus on interactive learning (i.e. theory, practice and feedback) was very helpful.  I came away with a lot more confidence but, rather than just a feeling of increased confidence, I have learnt techniques that could develop my singing voice.”

Featuring songs from Miss Saigon & Matilda

This is a fantastic opportunity to participate in an ‘open to all levels’ singing workshop of songs from these famous West End musicals.

Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced singer you’ll enjoy singing fabulous songs from the West End and training your voice at the same time. Take a look at a short video of workshop run by Idit.

In the first session of the workshop we’ll teach you basic breathing and vocal techniques and show you some performing skills which you’ll be using later in the singing session.

You’ll be coached individually as well as working with the group. Kieran and Idit will prepare you for a short performance at the end of the workshop. Once you book your place on the workshop we’ll email you the song sheets with web links so you can practise in advance.

Great fun, not to be missed! Find out more and book via our Workshops page.

Mama’s Kitchen is a place for experimentation and curious concoctions, serving up a menu of pioneering performance.

The brainchild of Shunt artist Layla Rosa and curated especially for Postcards, expect circus artists, theatre makers, musicians, visual artists and a whole heap of other exciting performances that we’re not entirely sure about just yet.

But if previous outings at The Shunt Lounge are anything to go by, Mama’s Kitchen will be unexpected and hugely memorable.
