A vocal technique course with Maddy Prior and Rose-Ellen Kemp at Stones Barn in Cumbria, November 2016 Filmed and produced by www.flashlightfilms.co.uk
A big thank you to Maddy, Rose-Ellen and Netty for a wonderful few days at Stones Barn. I really feel that I am getting somewhere with my singing now as well as once again having had a fabulous few days in a very special environment. I am looking forward to the next course immensely. I couldnt recommend the Stones Barn courses more highly - just fantastic.
My issue is stage fright. It literally took over 40 years to get up the bottle to sing in public. I was okay at a sing around, sitting (or even standing) in a dark corner where I'm kind of obscured. A few negative experiences at a new folk club when we moved to Shropshire, where the session leader ran away (jokingly I'm sure) covering his ears. What I lack in confidence, I make up for in volume. I've basically stopped all singing over the last 4 years, barring a couple of hours every 2 months with Clarion Choir. It's much easier to hide in a group of singers. Not singing is showing. I've lost a lot of vocal control and power. I would love to do this course. In talks with husband (the driver) about what he might do, while I'm on the course. I loves walking, so looks like this is very doable.

Chère Maddy. Mon slogan que nous partageons apparemment : "Chanter c'est sûrement mieux que de ne pas le faire ..."
