Have you ever tried singing outdoors? This is a great opportuntity to learn basic techiques on how to engage children/other groups with making sound in the great outdoors.
All human cultures across the globe sing in some form. Just as the birds sing in springtime, humans were made to sing. Singing is about the action not the end product. It helps us to relax and reduces stress. It’s a great work out for our heart and lungs and releases endorphins that make us feel energised and happy. Singing as part of a group is a great way to gain confidence and skills. Our fun filled workshops will play around with scales, echo songs, action songs, rounds and harmonies and will explore a variety of musical genres.
We use nature to inspire us. We don't use music to accompany us nor do we read music.At the end of the workshop you should be equipped with songs and activities to try with your young people and have a great understanding about the health benefits of singing, nature and overcoming barriers to participation.
