Frequently asked Q’s:
Do I need prior singing experience to take part?
This workshop is for everyone. No prior experience needed.
Can I just listen if I don’t feel like singing?
Yes! Please honour what feels right for you… it will be very interesting and enjoyable as a learning experience. The taking part is good fun… and you will feel well supported to explore this.
I feel scared to sing in front of others, is this workshop right for me?
Yes. This is a completely normal feeling. All of us hold a fear around being heard, singing. This workshop welcomes everyone, and I hope that the confidence building suggestions that we look at will offer a little support for this very natural feeling. You can go at your own pace, and just watch and listen if that feels best for you.
