Vocal Workshop with Elizabeth Ross

After a popular and successful workshop in 2023, Elizabeth Ross is back again with a new vocal workshop.  Saturday 22 March, 12.30pm-4.00pm  at Coorparoo Bowls Club

Session one (90 mins) will cover breath work and ear training.  The second session (90 mins) will cover interpretation of a song and reworking a song to suit your voice and style.  Elizabeth makes the sessions participative, practical, challenging and fun. Cost is $50 with a $10 discount for BUMS financial members. 

"With my workshops, I encourage everyone to find their authentic voice by enjoying the numerous benefits of singing. With my fun, simple and sometimes silly exercises, I really could teach the world to sing!"  Elizabeth Ross
