| Singing Workshops... |
| |
Yvette Staelens is a natural voice practitioner who believes that everyone can sing. Her workshops are
* taught aurally
* for everyone
* often sell out
* No-one is made to sing solo
* those returning to their voice especially welcome. |
| |
| Cant Sing? |
| |
| Many people have been told they can't sing by an inconsiderate teacher when they were a child perhaps or by members of their family and believed it! Join Yvette's workshops, discard this label and find your voice.You're worth it! |
| |
| Singing is your birthright, why deny yourself the pleasure of singing? Singing in a group means that you can sing as quietly or as loudly as you feel able and can share all the positive energy, flow of endorphins, smiles and buzz. No wonder that folks are hooked and Yvette's workshops sell out. |
| |
| Experienced singers love the fun of it and soar with the harmonies. |

Discover and celebrate songs from these shores and around the world. Most are harmony songs, including rounds, chants and 'feel good' ditties from amazing cultures including the Georgia Sea Islands, South Africa, Korea, Corsica, France, Angola, South Africa, Macedonia, Sweden, China, Germany, anywhere in fact that Yvette can find good songs to share. |
| |
|
| |
Yvette specializes in Somerset folk song and rather bawdy ballads and catches from 17th century England especially those collected and written by Thomas Ravenscroft and others and of course the songs collected from Somerset folk by Cecil Sharp. Gorgeous uplifting choir songs written by fellow NVPN members always included. Oh and you'll meet new friends too and have a great day out. |

Can't
Sing Want to Sing
- For the less confident
singer |
| |
We believe that
everyone is blessed
with a singing voice
and in this workshop
we will gently nurture
the voice within
you. So even if
you haven't sung
since school why
not give it a try
and maybe bring
a friend for mutual
support! |

| |
| Booking
a workshop... |
| You
can book Yvette
to deliver a
workshop for
you at a venue
chosen by you.
Yvette can run a
workshop in
your arts centre,
village hall,
school or festival.
All you will need is a big room,
seating and
the usual facilities
required for
comfort and
good access. |
| We
would recommend
that the minimum
number for a
comfortable
and enjoyable
sing is 15 people,
but generally
we would suggest
that round 30
- 50 people
is most fun!
We can deliver
to larger groups
if required,
and indeed a
'Big Sing' of
50+ people can
be the most
enjoyable of
all! |
