Developed out of our previous successes delivering training in association with Humbersound, this programme is open to anyone who wishes to attend and should provide lots of tasty morsels to entice music leaders of any age, experience and background. The network will meet over 4 days and pracititoners will have the opportunity to access training from leading music professionals and share practice, contacts and project information. Anyone is welcome – just book a place and come along!

MUSICAL MISH MASH!

IMAGINATIVE WAYS INTO GROUP SINGING
Em Whitfield Brooks
The Ropewalk, Barton upon Humber

Back by popular demand, nationally renowned singer and workshop leader Em Whitfield Brooks leads practitioners through a variety of repertoire and techniques to get groups singing, both through standard repertoire and also in devising more creative explorations of vocal work.

Sunday 7th June 2009
EXPLORING THE WORLD OF SAMBA
Julian Coburn Hough
The Quality Royal Hotel, Hull
10am – 4pm

Julian explores Samba rhythms as an essential way in to any musical project. As an ice breaker, for gaining confidence, for pulse recognition, for more established or experienced musicians to learn how to groove, for ensemble techniques, for learning syncopation, as a spring board to expressive compostion - the list goes on and on!

Drumming will never be the same again!

Each day will cost £25 to attend (£50 for non MusicLeader members), but book a place on all 4 days for only £80 (£160 for non MusicLeader members). For more information on how to join Humbersound, please contact Dave Watts on [e-mail] 07980 282 266.
