EVERYONE CAN SING
Tutor: Dan Evans
This enjoyable and highly participatory course is designed to help students find their own voice and to learn how to project it with ease and confidence. Participants may be new to singing or even believe that they can’t, or they might be established singers of any genre who wish to develop greater confidence and improve their presentation. In a fun and supportive atmosphere, students have the opportunity to experiment and are shown the open-throated calling technique used by most styles of professional singers ~ once learned, this calling sound is powerful, effortless and energizing. By projecting their voice and singing from the heart, students find the real beauty of their song and learn how to move their audience.
