Singing Courses

Sing Africa!

Start: 12 February 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
End: 14 February 2010 at 2:00 p.m.
With Chris Rowbury

If you love singing and dancing then come and spend the weekend with Chris Rowbury to learn harmony songs from across Africa. This is a great opportunity to sing and move to infectious African rhythms. Put a bit of heat and passion into your life and shake off those winter blues!

As the old proverb from Zimbabwe says:

“If you can walk then you can dance; if you can talk then you can sing”.

Full-bodied harmonies from South Africa; overlapping rhythms from West Africa; gentle lullabies from East Africa; haunting, exotic melodies from North Africa; haunting cries from Central Africa.

This workshop is open to all whether you just sing in the bath, or perform in public. All songs have been carefully chosen and arranged for voice only, and will be taught by ear. No previous experience needed, just bring your vocal chords and your enthusiasm!

Please bring plenty of water to drink during sessions as singing for a whole day can be thirsty work! Please also wear comfortable clothes and shoes as there are periods of standing during rehearsals and lots of movement while singing!
