Today I delivered a workshop for Samling Academy participants. We explored spoken word and poetry for their forthcoming production of 'When I was one-and-twenty' at The Witham, Barnard Castle and Saltburn Theatre. Samling Academy offers unique training for young classical singers aged 14-21 who are growing up in the north east and those who have chosen to come here to study. For more information click here.

This workshop gave an insight into vocal technique. The wonderful Hannah Taylor co-delivered the session with me. It was a practical workshop giving an insight into how voice science can complement vocal performance. The photo is of the lovely participants who joined us for the workshop at the Vocal Room, Gateshead. Look at these lovely singing teachers, music teachers, choir leaders, musical directors and solo artists. Thanks for coming everyone!
