Workshop
at Bristol University Music Department, Lifelong Learning
This practical workshop is aimed at people who enjoy singing and
can read music but would like to improve their skills in singing
at sight in a friendly environment. Professional singer and
teacher Charlotte Newstead will untangle this often-neglected
subject and the day will focus on your gaining confidence through
interval singing, recognising tonality and using it as a reference
point, and hearing the relationship of your part to the other parts.
The day will involve singing lots and lots of music including
Palestrina, Haydn and tonal composers of the 21st century.
Tickets:
Non-members: £22.50
