###SINGING ** Monday 28th and Tues 29th June 6pm-9pm or Thurs August 26th 10am-4.30pm**
## Learn how to find your natural voice through re-learning reflex-breathing and supporting the voice in the same way as you did when a child. ## This method gives you a solid technical foundation from which your voice can grow.

Tuning and finding overtones so that you can pitch more easily is learned through raising the soft palate.

Sing longer phrases through holding tension in the abdominal muscles instead of throat and tongue muscles.

We will be practising these techniques through chordal improvisation and canons.
