It’s learning different music genres from Mozart, to Sea shanties and everything in between. It’s understanding how to breathe properly, knowing where I hold tension in my body and learning to let it go so I can find my voice and make the most of its possibilities. And it’s learning to really listen to and appreciate the many different voices that combine to make our unique sound. It’s fun, challenging in a good way and it’s being part of a creative, collaborative and supportive community." No refunds are offered for this workshop.
