Choral Workshops and weekends

In addition to his work on the concert platform, Andrew Padmore has been engaged by Choral Societies, Schools, Colleges and Universities to conduct their Choral Workshops which are tailored to meet the needs of the individual choir. As a specialist vocal tutor and mentor for singing teachers on the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music professional development course “CT.ABRSM” he is able to give detailed help to enable amateur singers develop their voices individually and in the choral context.

Aspects of vocal production and choral technique are explained and demonstrated by involvement in “warm-up” and vocal exercises. This is incorporated into and made relevant to the specific works that the choir happens to be preparing. Andrew Padmore’s choral workshops are fun, rigorous and fulfilling, and the results are both immediate and long-term.

One session, whole day, weekend and summer school engagements are undertaken.
