Instrumentalists and Vocalists at Kings Place

After the morning whole group sessions, instrumentalists and vocalists divide into separate course streams for the remainder of the day. This course designed for singers will focus on working as a large group. 
Various aspects of the singer's craft will be covered in classes that range from the study of song-form and lyric writing to issues of time and feel. There will be help with finding repertoire and guidance on working with the text in performance. Students will also gain skills in chart preparation (including transposition) and how to connect with the rhythm section. Whilst there will be some opportunity for singers to work on repertoire through the song class and a chance for them to sing individual songs in the evening, a strong component of this course will be the work done as a vocal group. In the course, choir students will be working on a wide range of repertoire, including Gospel, South African, Brazilian and Folk music.
