Beginners Vocal Workshop @ Lauderdale House
Apr 12 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

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.”

Jazz on the Tea Lawn at Lauderdale House @ Lauderdale House
Jul 9 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

John Etheridge formed Sweet Chorus in 1998 as a personal tribute to Stephane Grappelli ,the greatest violinist of Jazz, with whom he had toured for many years in the late 70’s, early 80’s ..

The band takes it’s cue from the great Reinhardt /Grappelli repertoire of 1930’s classics but is in no way a slavish  itation of that music .

Inspired by Grappelli’s always questing spirit the band evinces dazzling forays into repertoire form all periods ..”always engaging and committed.”
