- I just
wanted to thank you for an invigorating workshop yesterday which I
thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for letting me come along. I think you
and Anne were fantastic; supportive and constructive, rather than
unnecessarily critical.

Just
like to say that I really enjoyed the day and I met some really nice

May I just say “thank

thought that I would have enjoyed it so much – and I think my
voice did improve!

SOLO
SINGING WORKSHOPS
Together with Anne Fradd, an experienced solo singer and
music teacher,
Christine has delivered many workshops for solo singers, focusing on
performance skills and communication. The idea is to offer
solo singers, whether experienced or novice, a performance opportunity
in a friendly environment where advice can be tried out and
ideas exchanged. The participants, plus any listeners who may
enrol, form the audience for one another and each singer is asked to
prepare and present one or two songs of their own choice.
Full details on current
leaflet. Solo
workshop guidelines are also available.

SIGHT-SINGING
WORKSHOPS
