Singing in Schools is aimed at children aged between seven and eleven of any background culminating in pupils performing specially arranged extracts of an opera or musical.
The workshops we offer can be enjoyed by anyone whether that be to help children flourish in a new capacity or bring brilliant and exciting opporunity to high attaining students.
We will work on vocal techniques, discovering the world of opera: what it is, who it is for and what it can sound like.
We will explore creative storytelling, characterisation, physicalising music and words, vocal and stage technique, musical interpretations and of course rehearsal and performance of your very own production. No matter what their training or musical background every child will have the opportunity to flourish and engage with this theatrical, operatic and musical experience.
We are currently offering the works of Bizet's Carmen and Humperdink's Hansel & Gretel and are actively pursuing new works to add to our musical horizon (including musical theatre).
