Vocal WoRkshop
This vocal workshop offers an inviting selection of choir songs, plus the chance to focus on your chosen melody, with specialist guidance from Ella. There will be a short break for refreshments.
This vocal Workshop part of all the retreats will be held at West Cornwall Inner Space, in Newlyn:
Time Table
10.30-12pm: morning vocal workshop at West Cornwall Inner Space, Newlyn.
- Vocal warm-up, introducing the central foundations of good vocal technique.
- Sing fun warm-up songs in unison, in a round, and in harmonising parts if relevant.
- Learn sea shanties and other popular songs.
12-12.15pm: Break
You are welcome to bring a packed lunch to eat in this short break, but it may be better for your voice to have a light snack in this break.
12.15-1.10pm: afternoon vocal workshop
- Learn two more group songs with harmonising parts in at least one of these songs. This will give you the opportunity to practise the new techniques you learned earlier, while reinforcing the mood-boosting, life-enhancing sense of joy instilled by singing in company.
- Recap the main technique foundations to help solidify your new skill set.
1.20-2.30pm
- Take part in Ella’s specialist vocal coaching, to workshop a song of your choice, further enhanced by group participation. With a group size capacity of up to 10, make sure you don’t miss out on one of the 7 spaces available for this opportunity.
By the end of the retreat you will have new-found sea swimming and vocal skills. Learning while having fun can generate an incredible sense of positivity and self-worth, besides which you’ll hopefully feel gorgeously sea-kissed and in perfect harmony!
