More Improvised Singing! (April 2025)

A course with Phil Lunn

In this eight-week course, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at performing improvised songs. We’ll cover:

• Finding the focus, or hook, of a song
• Starting songs and sectional verses
  
• Moving from scene to song
• Solos
• Performing songs as a group—sharing lyrics, harmonies and movement
• Song structures and rhyming patterns
• Singing in character
  

There will be a performance at the end of the course, at the lovely Canal Café Theatre in Little Venice, Paddington. Any questions, get in touch! For more information about me, have a look at my website at www.phillunn.com.

The course is aimed at people who have some experience in improvised singing already. It doesn’t have to be with Hoopla or with me. Please don’t book if you’ve not done musical improvisation before; instead you’ll probably find my Hoopla course more enjoyable (or of course, classes run by others in London). If your experience is such that I don’t think this the course for you, then I will let you know and recommend courses for you. Feel free to contact me in advance before booking.
