Originating as a training program for novice choral singers, Roland Graham’s Ottawa Choral Workshops has developed into a movement that offers a unique approach to learning and experiencing choral music. Based on the idea that anyone, regardless of their skill level, can enjoy profound and transformative musical experiences, Roland has developed introductory, intermediate and advanced choral singing courses that break down barriers and support participants in accessing their musical potential.

Viewing music in terms of a holistic process in which anyone can immerse themselves, Roland’s workshops guide singers from an initial meeting through a few weeks of rehearsal to a concluding performance that marks and celebrates their accomplishments before the community. In the process, they explore profound music, make new friends, increase confidence and personal agency, and ultimately learn the power and vitality of their own voice.
