Improvers Singing Lessons

Our Improvers Singing lessons build on our Beginners Singing lessons but with the exciting prospect of an informal finale performance for friends and family!

You will be re-introduced to the Estil vocal method, continuing to develop a healthy voice and explore a range of sounds and vocal styles.

As with the beginners singing lessons the focus will be on group repertoire, however, you will be asked to sing alone in order to check correct application of techniques.

As you continue to ascend the singing scale you will become skilled in harmony and develop confidence as a solo performer.

Singing Skills Development

This singing course is ideal if you have completed our beginners singing lesson or have some previous group singing experience. We like to keep our classes lively and fun, while making sure we cover all the necessary skills, so expect to have a good time.

The musical repertoire is varied and will be chosen from the Musical Theatre canon as well as pop, jazz and classical works.

Exact content may differ depending on students' needs and course duration, but topics generally covered include:

• A fundamental understanding of the workings of the vocal mechanism

• Achieve a good quality vocal performance while using the voice in a safe and healthy manner

• Application of some key acting through song techniques

• Recap of basic techniques via thorough learning of warm up exercises

• The class will be divided into voice types (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass etc) before learning a song with harmonies that will go on to be part of the showcase at the end of the course

• You will work one to one on your choice of solo or small group number

• You will work on solo and group numbers. 'Acting through song' will be focused upon

• Polishing and honing the material

• Rehearsal and informal showcase

• You will receive friendly feedback throughout

Something to Think About

A Dictaphone or other portable recording device is recommended in order to record harmony lines etc. (Most mobile phones come with some kind of recording facility - so please check before purchasing anything new.)

You should bring a folder to class in which to put any given sheet music and a pencil to make notes on the score.
