You will be guided step by step through each stage. All materials* will be supplied as well as refreshments. (*EXCEPT JOURNAL - see below) Each week you will need to bring your art journal, yourself and an open mind to being creative.

WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN
STARTS:
SATURDAY 20th MAY 10.30am
COURSE INFO: £40 (4 week course) 10.30am - 11.30am Sat 20th May - Sat 10th June During this 4 week course, you will learn to value and enjoy your unique voice as you develop it. It is an incredible tool to bring about connection with yourself and others. Singing is excellent medicine, and the research is clear on its positive impact on health and wellbeing. You'll learn how to use your voice and music as tools for meditation, relaxation and self connection. You'll also learn how to use them to boost energy, joy and positivity. Many people believe incorrectly that they can't sing and many others don't like their voices. This has led to people excluding themselves from the joy of music and singing. However, unless you have a physical impairment, you most definitely can sing and you must sing! These sessions are open to all levels, including those who think they can't sing. They will be very relaxed and supportive and you will be under no pressure to do things you're uncomfortable with. We will as a group: Begin by exploring our voices, tone and range Learn and explore breathing, pitch, dynamics and rhythm Explore and incorporate different emotions when making sound Improve our listening skills to match pitch and harmonise Progress towards incorporating words and melodies with mantra's and gospel songs. As confidence and comfort levels grow, you will sing more freely and confidently and will even improvise! We may also dance as part of our warm-up so wear something comfortable. Again, there is no pressure to participate in all exercises. If you're still unsure or nervous after reading the above and have questions or need some reassurance, please get in touch. Finally, here's a testimonial from someone that might be helpful: “As somebody who does not consider myself a natural born singer, Cindy provides a warm, safe and nurturing space in which to explore my voice and experience singing in communion with others which leads to a really healing and transformative experience. I really appreciate Cindy’s deep wisdom and expertise in her craft. I highlight recommend participating in Cindy’s workshop.” Carole, Aberdeen Cindy Douglas, is a singer/songwriter and vocal coach with a background in HR from an earlier career in the corporate world. She is passionate about supporting and empowering women and girls. If you are in financial difficulty and the fees are a barrier to your participation please contact Cindy.
