When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true.

Voice Workshops

I am offering on a regular basis, in the greater Victoria Area, Voice Workshops Level One through Level Three. All these workshops are based on a unit of five 90 minute sessions in a small group. If you want to continue, you can move on to another level, or stop where you are. I am hoping this flexible format will help us all keep singing in our increasingly busy world. I have realized in the course of my work that not everyone is able to commit to private lessons and I have created this series of semi-private workshops in the hope that it will meet the needs of this category of people. These are not drop-in sessions, but a series of 5 classes planned in such a way that significant ground will be covered together. Working in a small group is a wonderful way to learn.

Because there is a limited enrollment (maximum ten people), please confirm your registration as soon as possible.

Register Now to ensure your placement in the workshop of your choice.
