  • 2 min read

Sing for the Planet: workshop with Sandra Kerr & Jon Doran

Sunday 29 June 10.30am - 4.30pm

Singing workshop for singers of all levels.

Sandra Kerr says: "One of my passions as a musician, singer and writer, has always been to encourage people’s skills, whether they are young, old, experienced or absolute beginners. There is nothing as satisfying as seeing the development of others, often within the space of one session – observing the growth in confidence, musicianship and creativity. It’s a way of ‘going on’ oneself…"

Participants will have the opportunity to show off what they have learned by singing in the evening Sing for the Planet  Concert!
