Youth Music Theatre UK and RSAMD Dramaworks have developed a four-day course to develop the vocal training skills of leaders of young people's music theatre.

*** Due to the adverse weather conditions this Voice Works course will be run over 2 days on 24 & 25 January with a refresher day later in the spring.***

If you are involved in leading musical theatre with young people, in or out of school, this course has the answers for safe vocal training with young people in an inspiring and enjoyable way.

The course covers: physiology of the voice, breathing and teaching techniques, singing in performance and vocal function.  There will be opportunity to consider the theory as well as explore the creative voice in practice and the culmination of the four days will be a music theatre masterclass.

Voice Works will be led by Lin Marsh and Christopher Breckenridge, eminent practitioners in this field. 

The full day workshops will take place in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow on Sunday 24 & Monday 25 January 2010.  The cost for the course is £262.50. 

'This is a highly practical course with opportunities to develop skills

in many kinds of music theatre singing. You will be amazed at what your

voice can do while having fun exploring different repertoire.'

Lin Marsh, Course Consultant and Workshop Leader

Scottish participants may be eligible for Scottish Arts Council Youth Music Initiative CPD funds towards the cost of the course.
