Vocal Masterclass Day

Since 2002 I have organised vocal masterclasses for David Jones in London. These take place in Spring and Autumn.

The classes usually last for 2 hours during which 4 singers perform a piece accompanied on the piano.Each singer is then given specific suggestions to improve sound production and vocal delivery by David Jones.

These events are open to the public.

In case you don't feel like singing yourself, you may still be interested to find out how a person develops their vocal potential and get answers to how the voice works. This takes place in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
