Workshops

I arrange performance techniques and music interpretation workshops uniquely for my students.

The purpose of the workshops is to enhance the technical and musical knowledge they get in their lessons, with some practical experience. They get the chance to perform to each other, learn from each other and enjoy the experience of performing in a friendly environment. For those who then want to perform in public, it is a great way to acquire confidence.

I have three kinds of workshops available to them:

Text preparation – where I concentrate the connection between music and text, and how to best communicate it to an audience.

Musical preparation – where I concentrate on different components of music, how to interpret them, and feel comfortable in varying styles.

Stage work preparation – where I concentrate on how to stand and present a song to an audience, and on the stage context of all the different pieces people are working on.

Student concerts

This is aimed at those who would like to take the workshop experience further, and to put it all into practice by performing in a concert to their friends and family. It is a chance for everyone to have fun, and for those who are preparing for auditions and professional engagement to test drive their pieces before a friendly audience.
