With a wealth of professional teaching and training experience as well as performance skills and experience, Craig; Morgan: Robson make ideal workshop leaders. Their workshops are always informative, inspiring and fun.
Carolyn and Sarah both work extensively with community choirs, and have led workshops for numerous folk festivals including Sidmouth and Whitby as well as for music development organisations such as TAPS (Traditional Arts Project) and Folk South West. Carolyn is a qualified music teacher, and has also been a guest lecturer on teaching skills at the University of Newcastle degree course in Folk Music. Moira is acknowledged as an expert in the field of ballad singing and has run ballad sessions at Sidmouth on many occasions.
At this afternoon's workshop, they'll be teaching some great songs in harmony, and in the process they'll be sharing tips on singing technique, and showing you how to develop confidence in your voice. They'll also touch on other aspects of harmony singing, including demonstrating how you can create arrangements that really grab the attention of the listener!
