My strongest interests are in song as a community-builder and tool for wellbeing. I have studied vocal improvisation and I am forever delving deeper into intuitive music theory, as well as learning from a more technique based theory. My personal music taste leans towards folk music from our own fair isles, America, Europe and Africa and so I mostly teach folk songs from these cultures, as well as songs of earth and nature. I have run sing-arounds, courses, workshops and campfire singing sessions.Last Details:29th January 10am-4pm Centre for Science &amp; Art, Lansdown, Stroud.Tea will be provided. Bring lunch and snacks. You are encouraged to drink plenty of water the day before so you're fully hydrated.
