26 Jul 06 - 07:29 AM (#1793547) Subject: Harmony workshops - Sidmouth and Whitby From: Saro In the light of earlier threads about how to sing harmony, some people might like to come to Craig Morgan Robson's harmony workshops at Sidmouth (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday 11.30 - 1 in the Manor Pavilion). We'll be looking at arranging harmony to add interest and enhance the meaning of a song (Sun), improvising harmonies (Mon), and how to create a good blend of voices when you are singing together (Tuesday). At Whitby we'll have a whole week of workshops so a chance to learn some existing arrangments, and talk about "how to do it" with CMR and some guest harmonisers. This year Ed Rennie and Jackie Oates are coming to join us on one session, and Notts Alliance on another. Personally, I'm wary of anyone who says there is one right way of learning or singing harmony, and that is not what we set out to do but at least these sessions will give lots of chance to learn and sing harmony with some like minded people. Oh, I forgot, we are doing a workshop at Broadstairs as well, plus an hour and a half just on rounds! If you come to any of these, come and say hello! Saro |

I can learn a song and sing it whereby the tune is a harmony ( i used to sing as a bass in a choir) but my difficulty is in making harmonies. What will the workshops cover if i may be so bold as to ask. Mike |

26 Jul 06 - 02:49 PM (#1793848) Subject: RE: Harmony workshops - Sidmouth From: Saro On the workshop about improvising we'll be looking at some ways of finding your own "harmony line", and we'll be doing some practical activities to give people a chance to try it out. So a bit of talking about it, some examples to try, and then some expreimentation. Does that help?? saro |

27 Jul 06 - 03:47 AM (#1794311) Subject: RE: Harmony workshops - Sidmouth From: Saro Kitty, Notts alliance are now the three remaining original members who have decided to carry on despite the sad loss of Sid. They'll be coming to the Whitby harmony workshops on one session to talk about what they do and maybe teach a song - I'm delighted that they are carrying on. Gwenzilla - yes, looking forward to singing with you too and we'll do some different songs from the ones we did at Sharps! Saro |
