About this course

- demonstrate sound vocal technique
- source, adapt and learn appropriate repertoire for yourself
- sing solo to your class and develop confidence and skills to take your singing into the real world
- communicate effectively with the accompanist/band
- show better aural and theoretical understanding of music
- understand your range and work out suitable keys for your songs.

The tutor will provide songs for study, but in order to meet your own expectations you are encouraged to bring songs of your own choice. You will therefore need occasionally to buy or acquire sheet music. Please bring a machine to record elements of your class.

Student-centred group learning. Warm up together and technical exercises. Demonstrations by your tutor and accompanist, and/or sample cd's or internet. Solo performances with developmental feedback from your tutor and peers. Sharing ideas and good practice.
