Singing safely and with joy in Jazz, Pop and Musical Theater styles by Charles Beale (United Kingdom)

Are you reaching all the singers who could be in your choir? It’s time to get our groups singing with joy, by any means necessary, and being open to all styles is key to increasing participation and engagement in choral singing.

For OUP-published international choral director and jazz musician Dr Charles Beale, the best popular styles offer our singers technical sophistication and emotional richness, as well as relevance and fun. To do them well, they need as much attention to detail and precision as any classical music.

In this exciting workshop, we will sing some examples, and Charles will offer accessible tips and suggestions to enable singing with authenticity and vocal health in jazz, pop and musical theater repertoire, and truly bring it alive.
