Open Voices Project, Norwich.

Norwich’s groundbreaking Voice Project has announced details of the first of two opportunities for people to join them and learn the therapeutic benefits that singing can bring.

Open Voices is a four week course designed to get your voice freed up to sing. It is designed to be suitable for anyone from the beginner to the experienced singer. Voice Project co-directors Sian Croose and Jonathan Baker will look at how the voice works and how to get the best out of it. Those attending will learn how to use their voices to its maximum potential- singing music from a whole range of vocal traditions from Gregorian chant to African American Gospel –  as well as looking at the vocal basics – body, breath, tuning, harmony, and rhythm for singers.

The Voice Project is Norwich’s own open-access choir and vocal workshop organisation run by singers Sian Croose and Jon Baker. Since 2003 they have run exciting vocal projects, courses and festivals designed to offer anyone who is interested in singing the opportunity to take part in performances and workshops. The Voice Project Choir learn and perform new vocal music composed by great musicians from  jazz stars Andy Sheppard and Gwilym Simcock to this years Norfolk and Norwich Festival hit featuring Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen. Absolutely anyone and everyone is invited to come along and take part no previous experience is needed and and all of the music is taught by ear.

Open Voices runs from Tuesday 14 September, 7.30 – 9.30 at The Friends Meeting House, Lower Goat Lane Norwich. To book  places or for further information email info@voiceproject.co.uk or visit www.voiceproject.co.uk
