Workshop Outlines

Workshop 1 | February 14th

The first workshop will be a beginning-level workshop for those of you who have little or no experience singing harmony, and want to begin to learn the tricks and methods for learning to be a harmony singer. We will teach you how to sing rounds as well as simple harmonies.

Workshop 2 | February 21st

The second workshop will be an intermediate-level workshop, where we will teach slightly more complicated harmonies, helping you to gain more confidence in your ability to hold your own as a harmony singer.

Workshop 3 | February 28th

We will finish this series with our 3rd workshop designed for advanced-level harmony singers, who want to learn how to create their own harmonies. This is an excellent workshop to attend if you want to learn how to create harmonies for your own songs, your band, or your chorus!

“I haven’t had so much fun in ages. My commute is now a hoot. Only trouble is I can’t stop singing when I get to work. Fantastic - thanks so much.”
