Evenings

Voice Club Singers Tuesday 7.45pm - 9.30pm    Crouch End Evening Sessions Start Tuesday September 12th This friendly, fun and creative, mixed ability Voice Club ensemble class runs as an termly course, held in the beautiful acoustic space of Holy Innocents Church. Technique training, relaxation and voice-freeing practice, breath work, and vocal development exercises form the first half of the session, followed by ensemble singing of songs in harmony and unison. Developing vocal confidence and freedom while singing an eclectic range of repertoire. Since our formation in November 2016 Voice Club Singers are emerging as a vocal ensemble, applying our continuing technique work to an eclectic mix of songs. Week by week we practice a series of vocal exercises to develop range, control and stamina - with the focus on creativity, relaxation, freedom and fun. Our repertoire ranges from folk/irish part songs to musical theatre, sea shanties and classical. There are opportunities for solo singing (or not!) The ability to read music is not essential or expected,  non-readers are very welcome. Sheet music is sometimes used in repertoire, but parts are also taught by ear and become familiar. Members are encouraged to familiarise themselves with songs (uploads/printouts etc) between sessions so we can make best use of our time together.
