๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŽถ Singing in Squirrel Season ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒน



Dear << Test First Name >>

๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŽถ Singing in Squirrel Season ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒน
Harvesting the singing treasures this September
Like our long furry-tailed friends, for me, Autumn is a time to gather and store.
What are you foraging for this squirrel season?
If you're looking to crack a few vocal nuts, buzzing, humming, sliding and yawning will help reawaken your voice.
If it's all feeling a bit frantic, taking a few minutes to anchor into deep belly breathing with long slow hums and vowels can soothe frazzled nerves.
If you're ready to take a flying leap to a new branch, a liberating shake and sound for a few minutes can reboot and refre.
It never fails to amaze me how the magic of singing can meet us wherever
we are - there really is a song for every season!  

๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŽถ Back to School, Back to Choir!
Looking forward to welcoming singing friends old and new at events including:
Welcome Choir free taster 8th Sept - a lively singing start to the season.
Sing for Water Sept 18th - a spectacular singing splash for WaterAid 
**NEW** BLG Mind Wellbeing Choir 20th Sept - do you live in Bromley? - come along to a new daytime wellbeing choir led by Sarah Fisher and myself.
Winter Sparkle Joint Choir Concert 11th December - save the date for a sparkly afternoon tea concert @ St John the Evangelist - more soon!
This and lots more... full choir info below!

๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŽถ Inspiration Corner
* Amongst my summer bookworming, I had a very satisfying munch through 
Folly Ditch, the latest literary thriller from writer Anna Sayburn Lane.
Anna reflects on the seasons with me in this creative conversation and shares her writing tips in this episode of Vocal Revolution Podcast.
Croydonites Festival is back with an inspiring range of performances including Gill Manly's new play The Benefactress starring Joanna Scanlan -
(I have a small mystery role.... come along to find out??! :)

Do drop me a line with any questions or thoughts about Autumnal Singing!

 Wishing you an abundance of creativity this September

๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŽถ Holiday Singing๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒน

 

Dear Friend

๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŽถ Holiday Singing๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒน
Keeping this short and sweet as it's holiday season and we've all got more fun things to do than read and write emails!  I'm on working staycation in London, as the city slows down and there's time to be a tourist in and out of town.

If you're also in town do join me at these fabulous events:
MyCoolSingers & BreatheHarmony NHS Choir in Concert
An evening of gorgeous singing in the serene (and cool) ambience of St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood - honoured to be supporting Mike King & Breathe Harmony NHS Choir in this special concert with MyCool Singers, £10 ๐Ÿคฉ
* Sing with the Sphinx - Saturday 20th August 2-3.30pm, £10
Come on a singing wander and enjoy sunny harmonies amongst the wild places and creatures of Crystal Palace Park.  Involves a gentle walk. RSVP


How to feel like you're on holiday...even when you're not!
* Friends & Fam - prioritise quality time with special peeps
* Natural highs - take a walk on the wild side to beautiful places such as Hitchin Lavender - photo above by my nephew Ollie aged 8 :)
*Infusing Inspiration - the arts can restore a sense of wonder - The Spooky Men's Chorale magical show included this Ukranian song Plyve Kacha
* Reading adventures - I've loved escaping into Elif Sharak's novels The Island of Trees and The Forty Rules of Love.
* Slow down - time to unplug, nap, daydream and get present
* Shine up the house - a good clean and clearout freshens things up
Sing! - it blows away the cobwebs

 Wishing you good singing vibes - wherever you're voyaging!
