Singing for Fun
January 26th, 2009 by Caroline
Although several Simply Social members has signed up to attend a singing workshop, most of them were a little apprehensive and hoped that they would be able to melt into the background on the day. Could singing actually be fun many of them wondered?
We met at Centre at St Paul’s, in Hills Road, where the Church space has been booked to make the most of our voices. Natural Voice singing tutor Penny arrived and immediately made everyone feel relaxed as we chatted over a glass of wine - to lubricate our voices.
Firstly Penny took us through a relaxation as we shook out any tensions and went aaahhhhh. Penny then taught us a very short Scottish folk song and to our amazement we were singing. Once we were familiar with the words we sang it as a round. The more singing we did the more confident we became and we couldn’t get enough. We moved onto an Israeli folk song and added a dance to it.
Now we are all addicted and plan to attend a local singing class, and we have big ideas about setting up a Simply Social singing group.
