Event Information
Description
This is a networking event for female musicians (Instrumentalist and Singers of all levels).
Whether you are woman who is starting out in music, returning to music, see music as an hobby or are working in music full or part time you have the controls but how will you use them?
The world of music has changed. Once upon a time music moghuls and large recording labels controlled the market now the opposite it true. Apps, mobile phones, tablets, computers now put your talent firmly into your own hands.
So what can you control?
The controls will be different for each of us but we will address the points for each stage of the music journey and tips too.
By the way, it's about you! In session 2 'Control starts here', you will be looking at your specific areas that you need to take control of and how you are going to do it.
Jam Session
The Jam session is for instrumentalist (musicians) and is facilitated by Cynthia Fearon. Three things will be covered:
1. Warm up
2. Material for beginner players
3. Material to stretch non-beginners.
This session is shared support so please give and receive support and tips to help improve you and your sisters playing.
Please bring your instrument and amp if required. (There will be one keyboard provided and a basic PA system for microphones)
It's important that you book soon so we can plan for you.
Vocal Masterclass
The vocal masterclass is for Singers and is facilitated by Abigail Kelly. Three things will be covered:
1. Vocal warm up (whole group)
2. Fifteen minute one to one vocal advice (up to four singers)
3. Sound pooling (whole group).
One to one masterclass
All Singers should come prepared with a verse and chorus of a song they would like help with. You can sing with or without backing track. Abigail will give advice on how to tackle your vocal problem. This will take place in front of the other attendees of the Vocal masterclass.
As there won't be enough places for everyone, to make it fair, on the day all interested singers names will be put into a hat. Names will be pulled out and those sisters will have the one to one opportunity. Those who do not get to present will still learn from the experience of the sisters.
Sound Pooling
A group exercise in listening, reacting and offering of your voice to create a landscape of sound. Intrigued? Come along and experience this and how it will enhance your voice.
It's important that you book soon so we can plan for you.
Don't forget to book your place now!
