Calling all crooners

ACCOMPLISHED and budding songbirds alike are invited to an ongoing series of two-hour community singing workshops hosted by expert vocal coach Stella Savy.

According to Savy each workshop is specifically designed to help participants “understand their voice” and involves singing songs in both English and other languages.”

“My teaching style comes from a contemporary space but I do use some classical warmups to strengthen certain parts of the voice,” she said.

“We start the sessions with a warmup that looks at how you are singing, making sure you are singing correctly and giving people tools to use at home to strengthen their voice.

“Because lots of participants are beginners, this is a great way to connect with your voice. Then we learn songs usually in three or four parts harmony, and the sound is amazing, so much fun.”

If this piques your interest but you’ve never belted out a tune beyond the confines of your shower, and have some misgivings – not to worry, no prior singing knowledge is required.

“This is an open and inclusive session that works for the people who say they can’t sing as well as people who have loads of experience,” Savy said.

“Just come and have a go. If you like it, you’ll love it! Such a lovely bunch of regulars come along to each session. There’s so much fun to be had!”

The next community singing workshop takes place from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday, 18 March at St. Andrew’s Uniting Church on Myers Street and for more information visit bit.ly/3EFkwjN.
