Sing for Water London inspired Sing for Water Cardiff and there are songs in common, so chances are that some of the songs we learn this Summer will be sung…
My First Workshop - Part 1a
Somebody asked me the other day why it's taken me so long to run one of my own singing workshops.

My First Workshop - Part 1
I have finally organised my first singing workshop! Yay! But, I want to be sure that I am not going to lose money.
So my "Inner Excel Geek" created a spreadsheet (obviously - that's what all all good geeks do, isn't it?) to check my figures and to use next time. I was very happy with it. The spreadsheet, helped me work out what was a reasonable price to charge for an early-bird ticket and how many tickets I had to sell to know that I could run the workshop and not lose money. It also allowed my t…

Festive Singing and Drumming
I'm very excited to share that I am running a Festive Singing and Drumming Workshop on the afternoon of Saturday, 9th December, in the lovely setting of Insole Court, Llandaff.
Sometimes we'll just sing, sometimes we'll add a bit of hand-drumming so bring a djembe or a bougarabou if you've got one.
Prices
The Early Bird Price is £12.00. When these are all gone, the price goes up to £17.00. Grab yours now! You'll be paying via "Stripe" so your details will be very secure, and you won't be pay…Hello Earth
A little sample of one of the songs that Laura Bradshaw and I will be teaching over the Summer. This is "Hello Earth”.
If you'd like to join us, you can save £30 by booking now for the whole 10 sessions.
