West End Musicals Singing Workshop @ Lauderdale House
Apr 26 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

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.
