#workshop event

What better time than now, as the year unfolds, to invest in yourself as a singer? Whether you’re an experienced soloist or someone rekindling a long-held passion, Love Your Voice 2025 offers a space to nurture your technique, spark your creativity, and connect with other singers who truly “get it.”

Love Your Voice '25 is all about learning by doing. It’s about stepping into the room, being heard, and embracing the process of exploration. Over three immersive workshop days in March, we’ll dive into the heart of what it means to be a solo classical singer—not just technically, but emotionally and creatively. These sessions are designed to provide practical tools for real growth, paired with the joy and camaraderie that come from working alongside a small group of like-minded singers.

Here’s what you can expect from each day:

Day One: Embracing Creativity and Performance We’ll set the tone for the weekend with a Meraki workshop. Meraki—a Greek word meaning to put something of yourself into what you do—is the perfect starting point for exploring your connection to music. Together, we’ll delve into the artistry and individuality that makes every voice unique. Expect a welcoming, hands-on day that balances inspiration with practical work.

Day Two: Singing with Live Accompaniment A truly special opportunity to work with a live accompanist in a beautiful music studio setting. This is your chance to move beyond tracks and recordings and experience the dynamic collaboration that comes with live music. It’s an invaluable experience for building confidence and deepening your interpretive skills as a soloist.

Day Three: Vocal Technique Deep Dive After the creative exploration of Days One and Two, we’ll shift our focus to the technical side of singing. In a more intimate setting, we’ll work on the essential building blocks of vocal technique—posture, breathing, onset, support, and resonance. This is your time to dig into what your voice needs to flourish, with supportive feedback and tailored guidance.

These three days offer more than just workshops—they’re an opportunity to recharge your love for singing. Being in a space with other solo classical singers fosters a sense of camaraderie that’s hard to describe. It’s inspiring to share the journey, celebrate each other’s progress, and simply enjoy the energy of a group working toward a common goal.

And then there’s Winsham itself. With its welcoming venues, beautiful countryside, and the thoughtful details we’ve planned (from refreshing breaks to optional evening meals), it’s the ideal environment to focus on your voice and reconnect with the joy of singing.

If you’ve been considering it, now is the time to take the leap. Applications close on Saturday 1st February, and spaces are intentionally limited to ensure everyone has the time and attention they deserve. Whether you join us for one day or all three, you’ll leave with renewed confidence, practical tools, and a deeper connection to your voice.

Visit the Little Soprano website today for full details and application links. I’d love to welcome you to Love Your Voice 2025 and help you take the next step in your singing journey.

As the New Year begins, it’s a natural time for introspection and planning—a moment to pause, take stock, and envision the path ahead.

For us as singers, this season of renewal is also a chance to reconnect with the joy and artistry that make our vocal journeys so fulfilling. Singing, after all, is good for the soul. It’s an expression of creativity, a means of connecting with others, and a way to ground ourselves in something deeply personal yet universally shared. And that’s why I’m so excited to invite you to Love Your Voice 2025.

This 3-day workshop event is a cornerstone of my work within The Voice School—where singers come to grow, explore, and refine their craft. It’s not just about technique, though that’s a vital part of what we’ll work on. It’s about nurturing the whole singer: embracing the creativity, individuality, and sheer joy that brought you to music in the first place. This ethos is at the heart of everything I do, from my teaching to the events I create, and Love Your Voice 2025 is no exception.

Each day of this event has been carefully planned to offer you a blend of inspiration, technical focus, and community. We’ll begin on Friday, March 21st, with a relaxed evening gathering to ease into the weekend. This informal start is a chance to meet your fellow singers, settle in, and set the tone for the days ahead.

The chosen venues have a welcoming atmosphere, and their picturesque settings provide the ideal backdrop for this learning journey.

On Day One, we’ll gather at The Jubilee Hall in Winsham, a beautiful historic space, with a wonderful acoustic perfectly suited to our work. This day is all about artistry and creativity, inspired by the Greek concept of Meraki—bringing your essence to what you create. Through warm-ups, guided exercises, and collaborative exploration, you’ll discover your voice and connect with the music that moves you. 

Day Two will take us to The Old Rectory in Chaffcombe, where the focus shifts to the dynamic interplay between singer and accompanist. Working with a live pianist brings a new depth to your experience, and there’s something truly magical about creating music in real-time collaboration. The stunning music studio at The Old Rectory is an inspiring space, and I’m thrilled to have Geraldine Wills joining us again as accompanist. Her skill and insight make this day an unforgettable experience.

On Day Three, we’ll return to Winsham, this time to the intimate setting of Church Farmhouse. After two days of expressive singing and performance, this is your opportunity to hone in on vocal technique. We’ll address individual technical challenges in a supportive environment, ensuring you leave the workshop with practical tools and fresh insights to carry forward in your singing journey. This day is about refining your skills and deepening your understanding of your voice.

Winsham is a treasure, and it’s a joy to hold this event in such a warm and inviting village. From the community-owned village shop to The Bell Inn just steps away from Jubilee Hall, the village offers plenty of charm and character to enrich your experience. During breaks, you can enjoy the stunning countryside views or take a quiet moment to reflect.

In the evenings, I’ll arrange optional dinners at nearby venues—a wonderful way to share stories, insights, and laughter with your fellow singers.

Love Your Voice 2025 is more than just a workshop weekend event; it’s an opportunity to connect with a supportive group of like-minded singers, all sharing the journey of artistry and growth. To help foster this connection, you’ll be invited to join The Green Room, a private online discussion group. This is where you can meet other participants, ask questions, and stay updated on event details. It’s also a space to share inspiration and continue the conversation long after the weekend is over.

For those who are new to The Voice School, you might also know me through Little Soprano—my longstanding blog where I’ve shared over a decade of reflections, insights, and experiences from the world of singing. The Voice School and Little Soprano are deeply connected, both rooted in my passion for helping singers thrive. While Little Soprano captures the personal and reflective side of this journey, The Voice School is where that vision comes to life through teaching, mentorship, and events like Love Your Voice. Together, they form a comprehensive approach to nurturing the singer within.

If you’re travelling from further afield, there are plenty of lovely accommodation options in and around the TA20 postcode area. From cosy B&Bs to self-catering cottages, there’s something to suit every preference. If you need help finding the right place to stay, just let me know—I’m happy to assist.
