Master the art of quartet singing

Singing in small harmony groups
Also at Great Bidlake Manor, this retreat focuses on singing in groups of 8-12 people. You'll develop the skills of small group harmony singing - learning to blend your voice, hold your part confidently, and create beautiful music together.
A weekend of singing in nature
This retreat is all about joy, connection, singing and learning together in a large group. Over three days, you'll learn 4-5 pieces in harmony, work on vocal technique, and create a final performance together (fully recorded).

It's not an overstatement to say meeting Phoebe changed my life. After many years in the wilderness of not enjoying or making music, one wintery evening I went along to Godalming Jazz Choir and it reminded me just how much I love to sing! As well as being a talented singer, musician, and songwriter in her own right, Phoebe is a fantastic teacher - warm, funny, and encouraging - she also knows exactly how and when to push you to get the most out of your voice. Under her tutelage, I have seen myself grow hugely in confidence, range, and technical ability, as well as my understanding of how to deliver a quality performance. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Phoebe to anyone - you will love your time with her
