Singing is everyone’s natural instrument and everyone can benefit from
the physical and psychological uplift that singing gives, reducing stress
and muscle tension while releasing natural endorphins. Singing together
is known to take the benefits up a notch and singing outdoors in the
stunning scenery of the Alps is definitely a recipe for a restorative,
energising, and calming wellbeing boost.
Tess Read has been running acappella groups for over 10 years and
teaches music with the Hungarian method of learning all music through
singing.
Open to people at all levels of musical ability and appreciation. No need
to read music, all learning will take place without musical scores.
I love to explore harmony, song, rhythm and adore the feeling when a group of
people sing together and experience the music we create in the space around us
and also deep within ourselves. That feeling of being held within the sound, in that
space, with that group of people and experiencing the music we create. It’s truly
magical. Singing, sound, song, breath, and harmony all work together and create
energy for our spirit and music for the soul.
Musical enjoyment and appreciation is a part of almost all of us. And whether we
play an instrument or not, almost all of us have our own musical instrument - our
voice. Just as it is instinctive for babies to vocalise, so it is natural for babies,
children, adults to create music with our voices. I like to harness this instinctive
approach to music, rhythm and pitch as well as take the time to craft what we all
experience as a beautiful sound.
Singing and harmonising together, feeling the sound and loving the music we create
– there’s nothing better!
