COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is one of our flagship courses 'Vocal Technique', which introduces singers to their voices and helps them gain knowledge of the voice both anatomically and aurally.  Rose-Ellen and Maddy will walk you through lots of useful information about the human voice.  Most of this information isn't commonly known to singers but it can be very enlightening and helpful to know.  We consider this the course that we'd wished we had when we started out as singers.

WHO IS IT FOR?: This course is SUITABLE FOR ANYONE who is ready to work on their voice and gain knowledge of the voice, wants to do practical voice work and progress their singing.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: 

- The emphasis is on learning about the voice through different learning modalities (lecture, seminar, masterclass, group work) always        in fun ways with a focus on voice for wellbeing.

-  Learning about warming-up and taking care of the voice as well as the basic anatomy and physiology of the voice.

-  Learning and singing some specially-arranged a' Capella pieces and traditional folk songs together as a group.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

We allow just a deposit payment to book and secure your place on any and every course. This deposit amount is currently £150. If you notify us of your cancellation within 3+ months of the course you will receive £100 of your £150 deposit back.
Any Notification after this time, regardless of reason, shall not be deemed a reasonable amount of time for us to try to re-fill your place so all of the deposit will be withheld. For this reason, we strongly advise you to book separate event/travel insurance so that you may recover all of your expenses should unforeseen circumstances arise.

We can no longer afford the costs of last-minute refunds in terms of admin or advertising or empty places. Around 5+ people per course are now dropping out for reportedly very serious reasons. This is unsustainable for us because we are a micro business with very fine margins and have not taken this decision lightly.

We will email you four months before the course, to inform you that you have 2 weeks to pay the balances. After the 2 weeks has expired, you may lose your place if payments have not been received. Non-payment of invoices is at your own risk and we will not/ cannot be held responsible for missed payments.

Add emma@stonesbarn.co.uk as a ‘trusted email’ to make sure emails arrive.
