Course outline

What is the course about?

To build confidence and vocal technique appropriate to contemporary styles of singing.

What topics will we cover?

Each session will comprise a physical warm-up and technical exercises to build a support for the voice, followed by learning one or two songs and negotiating musical issues that arise. Mostly group singing, but solo singing will be featured.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- enjoy improved confidence and better sense of your own voice
- present a song effectively
- understand the singing class context and be more confident about auditioning for other courses
- Study musicianship relevant to pop singing.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

You must be able to sing in tune, and have the desire to sing in public. This is an introductory course, so no other experience is necessary.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

You will be singing in groups, large, small and solo, with tutor demonstration, tutor feedback and a performance to the class.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Music materials will be supplied. You may find it useful to record the sessions.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?
