For Worship Leaders and Worshippers
Every Sunday morning millions of singers, with little or no voice training, step up to a mic to lead their congregations in worship and are often required to minister under increasingly higher vocal expectations, as the musical style of contemporary christian music continues to learn further towards a more pop/RnB vocal style. These modern vocal styles take more of a toll on the voice than traditional hymns, which is why more and more worship leaders are seeking out professional voice training.
The Worship Leaders Vocal Classes is a 12 week vocal course designed to help worship leaders and worshippers develop and strengthen their singing. If you're experiencing sore, tired or strained vocals during and after singing, these are all signs that you need to work on your vocal technique.
Vocal Technique is what you use to strengthen and open your voice, build and embedded muscle memory through practice and improve and develop your vocal skills overall.
The course is open to:

Why Join Vocal Classes?
Sing Stronger. Go Deeper. |
Imagine you are leading worship and suddenly your voice breaks on the high note?
You can feel your voice is getting hoarse and starting to strain? Or you can't hear yourself so you scream and shout you way through the set? Perhaps your singing has just become completely unpredictable and you don't know what it is going to do from one week to the next? As a worship leader, the last thing you want is to be wrestling with is your vocals. And you certainly do not want your singing to be a distraction to other listeners.
If you are getting to the point where your vocals are making it difficult for you to focus on leading worship, then you need to take vocal lessons. Classes will help you to find your voice and to get control of your singing. You'll also discover how to develop stronger skill sets that will enable you to sing for longer without losing your voice. Stronger vocals means you can concentrate on going deeper in worship. |
Remove the unpredictability from your singing!

What Does the Bible Say about Singing?What does the Bible say about singing? Is vocal training biblical? I've been leading for years, why should I train now?
|
Sing(ing) is mentioned around 120 times in the Scripture (KJV), is the most recorded of the commandments and first appears in Ex 15:1.*
Of all the musical instruments mentioned, the voice is the no1 instrument and the primary form of musical communication with God!
Chronicles 1 and II reveals the training and mentoring that the singers (Levites) went through so they could serve, and were assigned leadership roles when they demonstrated skill and aptitude(1 Chron 15v22).
Even if you have been leading for years, wear and tear can begin to impact the voice, where you can then end up losing range, start to experience a drop in your tone or your vocal stamina starts to wane. * Source: Answers.com

"1 Corinthians 14:15 says: "....and I will sing with understanding also..."
Singing is not difficult if you understand your own voice and its capabilities." Dionne Shand "I invite you to join me for the Worship Leader Vocal Classes. If you are experiencing difficulties with your singing, I can assure I have been exactly where you are now and I decided to do something about. I sought out industry professionals and took their classes. Prices ranged from £150 for a day class to £700 for a week long class. There's no denying bespoke vocal coaching is super-pricey but it's worth every penny when you want to spend far less time worrying about if your voice will last out during worship! |
