The Joy Of Reading Music starts at the fundamental level and builds sequentially through experience. Learn basic music theory, reading, hearing and understanding. Elements include note values, rhythm, key signatures and more. Learn more about the language of music as you apply these basics to songs.
Brian has developed this course from the singer's perspective so playing an instrument is not necessary, though what you will learn can be applied to instruments as well as voice. It's suitable for those who have engaged in some singing previously and would like to further their musical skills.

It was such fun today. The three hours flew by and at the end of the session I just wanted to keep singing, which I did - all the way home. Thank you!
The workshop was fabulous & relaxed, and I enjoyed so much just listening, learning and singing 'with joy'.
