JUNE 16 - 18 2023: BIG SUMMER SINGING WEEKEND - SHEFFIELD
We're very excited to announce our next Big Summer Singing weekend will be on 16th - 18th June 2023.
Please book your place via our shop.
This will be a very special Singing Weekend, taking place on the hilly outer-edges of Sheffield, focused on group singing, learning some great harmony songs and enjoying ourselves. We'll eat delicious home cooked food, enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and experience the joy of singing together.
We invite singers of all abilities to stretch themselves, discover something new, gain more confidence and, most importantly, have a lot of fun. We have been running singing weekends and week-long courses over the past decade and they are incredibly popular. With well-being, good food and a friendly approach at the centre of the weekend, participants should expect to sing lots within the safety and big sound of a group. We never ask anyone to sing on their own and aim for everyone (however experienced or not) to get something out of the workshop.
Each singing weekend is a little different and for this one we’re focusing on the pure joy of singing in a big group! The weekend will include activities such as: thorough physical, breathing and vocal warm ups, learning rounds and simple songs, learning some bigger more complex group songs in glorious three part harmony and having a go at improvisation in an inspiring and supportive atmosphere. We’ll be singing some of our favourite Lady Maisery song and some exciting new things too!
We’ll meet on Friday night for some informal singing, and we’ll finish with tea and cake at 3pm on Sunday. On Saturday night we'll have a feast together, followed by an 'open-stage' where participants can get up to share a song, a poem, a turn of some kind - this is always a highlight of the weekend.
Venue: Underbank School Room, 828 Stannington Rd, Sheffield S6 6AP
Price: £180 incl all teaching and food (Sat lunch + dinner, Sunday lunch). You'll need to find your own accommodation. If funds are an issue, please get in touch as we have a limited number of places at reduced price in exchange for a bit of helping out during the weekend.
