Do you struggle in your choir because you cannot sing at sight? Does written music seem like a foreign language and inhibit you from auditioning for a choir? Beginning at the beginning, you’ll be provided with simple tools to help dispel the mystique (or possibly phobia!) of reading music. You’ll be set on the road to fuller participation in choral singing. Barbara Alden will gently introduce you to the concept of rhythmic notation and, using hand signs, to tonic sol-fa. Some basic theory will be included with the practical work, and Barbara will also give you hints for further practice. A small additional charge of £8 - £10 for exercise sheets and a sight singing book is payable at the course.
