The Art of Song
Masterclass for Singers
‘The Art of Song’ seeks to empower and enable singers of all abilities to reach their full potential. A collaborative ethos will encourage singers to learn from each other as well as from their course leaders. In class, each individual’s voice will be explored through technique, style, text, colour, context and body language. There will also be a focus on breathing, posture, presentation and making it fun!
Singers should bring four or five pieces that they enjoy singing. At least one should be in English, another should be German Lied and a third should have been written during their lifetime. Songs should vary in period, language, style and tempo and could include a song cycle if desired. Students will be able to rehearse their pieces with a class accompanist immediately before a class lesson. There will be opportunities for those who so wish to perform in two concerts at the end of the week.
The class will be limited to twenty participating students.
