Singing Lessons Level 1

Singing Lessons Level 1

Find your voice! Our Singing Lessons Level 1 are designed for both complete beginners and singers wanting to rediscover their voice. 

Students can expect to gain a basic understanding of how the voice works in order to begin exploring and developing their own voices. The course will cover: warm ups, vocal health, basic vocal technique, repertoire from a variety of genres, and a supportive group learning environment.

Don’t worry if you’re a little nervous - this singing course focuses on singing as a group and building your confidence. And it doesn't matter if you don't get it right the first time round; it's all about practising and enjoying singing!

What will be taught on Singing Lessons Level 1?

During the Level 1 course you will learn to control your voice. We will give you practical exercises to help you gain confidence using a varied repertoire - from pop to musical theatre to jazz, blues and soul.

Course content will include:

  • Learn basic breathing exercises to gain an understanding of the respiratory system
  • Learn basic warm ups to develop areas such as articulation, intonation, rhythm, and tone
  • Explore repertoire from a diverse range of genres including, but not limited to: classical, contemporary classical, foreign language art songs, gospel, pop, rock, musical theatre, folk, and jazz
  • Learn the fundamentals of singing
  • Sing as a group, including working on ensemble song choices

Students will have:
