Content:
Self-expression through making music and singing is
something human beings have done since we set foot on the planet. Whether
singing as we hoe the fields, in Church, at weddings, funerals, for
celebration or commiseration it seems to nurture the essence of our souls.
In these workshops we will use the rhythm of nature in songs, singing,
music, the sea and beautiful countryside surrounding Lyme Regis to inspire
us and support our creativity.
This workshop is for people who want
to develop their voices, performance and musical ability. It will also
increase your self-confidence, sense of personal power and self-esteem. It
will include breath work, relaxation exercises, vocal training, process
work, visualisation and experiential expression techniques, as well as
discussion, information and lots of singing.
All styles and levels
of ability are welcome. If you are a Beginner who has never sung before
then you are requested to bring along either a short poem that you could
read to the group or the lyrics for a 3-minute song you know a little that
you could sing (nobody has to sing solo in front of the group unless they
want to). If you are a more Advanced singer than you are invited to bring
a 3-minute song that you know by memory, which you could perform for the
group.
The workshops are led by Lorrayn de Peyer Director/Founder
of THE COURAGE TO SING. Lorrayn is a seasoned singer, performer and
musician with a degree in Psychology. She has and extensive experience as
a workshop leader and training in the performing arts and holistic health.
Lorrayn's professional experience has taken her all over the world and her
credits as a singer and musician include working with leading producers,
musicians and songwriters.

shops for refreshments and interesting craft shops and artists galleries
