GROUP SINGING

From worship team singers to school workshops to community choirs

WORSHIP TEAM SINGERS

As a committed member of a local church worship team, I am passionate about worship singers and leaders serving with excellence in their vocal skill level as well as their hearts. With many years of first hand experience of the demands of these (usually) voluntary roles teamed with my expertise as a singing teacher, I can offer tailored workshops to teams of contemporary worship singers within their church setting to help them develop and bless their church all the more.

Here’s what I offer:

• Vocal skills workshops - designed to meet the needs of contemporary worship singers, addressing vocal health and warm ups, tips to help bring individual and collective voices together better in songs, develop harmony and vocal arrangement skills, and how to engage the congregation well. (In-person).

• Singers leader development - one-to-one tailored support/coaching to develop the skills of those leading a team of singers in church. (Online or in-person).

ESSENTIAL INFO: I have Enhanced DBS clearance. Prices start from £45/hr. Contact me (Josephine) today to start the ball rolling!

SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

Here I am in Liverpool Cathedral leading multiple schools in a vibrant performance at the end of a singing workshop day. Bringing voices together as one is one of life’s greatest joys for all involved!

Over the years I have built up a wealth of experience in leading singing workshops for children and young people and find it a joy to sing with each class, choir or full assembly hall!

Here’s what I offer:

• Singing workshops - designed to meet your needs whether it’s a one-off or short term project, I can bring healthy + expressive singing using a range of warm-ups and songs (from engaging pop songs to fun a Capella songs from around the world). Workshops may also include songwriting too.

• School staff mentoring/training - designed to upskill + build confidence in the singing staff in order to enrich the children/young people’s singing experience. This could be mentoring one or two choir leaders to support their development (for example, to introduce harmony singing) or a whole staff INSET workshop to provide easy ideas + simple songs for class singing.

COMMUNITY CHOIRS

For me, community singing is all a place to escape the day-to-day and connect with others through enjoyable mix of songs and with no requirement on ‘talent’. Bring your voice to the mix and hear the wonderful sound we can create together and you will surprise yourself with how you improve along the way!

After years of leading youth, teachers and adult choirs in a mix of education and community settings I was delighted to be Choir Director for Bootle Youth Choir and Bootle Community Choir with The Orrell Trust from 2022-24. While I was with them, the choirs each released a single that they wrote with me on 6th October 2023. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON CHOIR MUSIC RELEASES.

Here’s what I offer:

• Choir directing - I bring high-quality and inclusive direction and leadership to choirs I am invited to be a part of and support vocal health and development through a range of warm-ups as well as tailoring vocal harmony arrangements to each choir to create engaging pop songs to moving gospel songs to a Capella songs from around the world and sometimes even brand new songs I write specially for or with the choirs!

• Choir leader mentoring/training - designed to upskill + build confidence in less experienced choir leaders who are keen to develop in order to enrich their choir’s singing experience. This may include online elements as well as practical training and co-leading.
