Sandra offers other styles of Singing Workshops
For groups of individuals – or individual groups!

One-day workshops are usually attended by individuals coming together as a group to take part.

Weekend or longer courses – the workshop format can also be easily extended to cater for groups of friends or colleagues, in which case full weekends or longer courses can be arranged to meet the groups' requirements.
This offers a unique opportunity for the corporate sector.
Please see the Corporate Work page for full details.

Established groups – for groups that already sing together, (e.g., community choirs, ensembles or quartets) Sandra also offers choir coaching.
Please see the Choir Coaching page for full details.

Participants' comments:

"We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the recent workshop . It was a wonderful afternoon – if only we could remember everything! Some of us were able to come to the evening concert and we were blown away by the sound – we're so looking forward to future concerts."
- Jo

"Thank you Sandra - Sunday's workshop was amazing, life-changing – and I thought I was coming to a singing workshop!"
- Rosie

"I physically couldn't sing before. During the course, I was aware of the meaning of the notes; I could feel these sounds 'twanging' inside me and I would get a sudden rush of emotion. Singing has changed me. I get such a feeling of freedom and joy, I cannot imagine living without it."
- Beverley

"Just a line to say thank you very much for this really in-depth summary of the breathing workshop. Not only is it really well written, it is also laid out very clearly and makes it easy to grasp.
I am so over the moon with the whole experience, about you, and about what you taught us. It is, as I believe, the holy grail to good singing. It was well worth attending and you are such an exquisite teacher who truly gives not only extensive knowledge, but heart and soul as well, during and even after the workshop."
- S.B.
