"Thank you for the TLC, the expertise, and the ass-kicking – I can’t think of a better safe space to test the limits of the voice or brain! This is such a special place and I can’t wait to come back and get the full immersive experience." 


 – Jesse Mashburn - Mezzo-soprano, USA (Student, May 2023)

Singing in English is very frequently underestimated, particularly by native English speakers. The wide-ranging classical repertoire composed in English necessitates a diverse range of accents and dialects, many of which are not inherently well-suited to the physical demands of classical vocal technique.
This workshop brings together three musicians with extensive experience working with English art song, music theatre and opera, plus a specialist theatre and film dialect coach from London’s “The Dialect Agency”.

REPERTOIRE FOR THIS COURSE MAY INCLUDE ARIAS, ART SONG
& CLASSICAL MUSIC THEATRE WORKS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN ENGLISH.
(All repertoire must be memorised.)
