SYDNEY: 9-10 June, 2007 at Opera Centre, Surry Hills.
ROBERT EDWIN will be our special guest presenter for the 2 day workshop, sharing his knowledge and expertise in the field of teaching contemporary commercial music to young singers. This includes music theatre, gospel, rock and pop.
He is a singer who has performed in many environments including Cathedrals, Carnegie Hall, has sung with Duke Ellington and has performed on TV and radio. Robert has composed a wide variety of music, ranging from children’s songs, music theatre scores to hymns and choir anthems.
His large teaching studio in New Jersey has students of all ages, learning classical, music theatre, rock and pop, and he has trained many successful artists.
Robert Edwin lectures, travels and gives workshops, writes many articles, and is well known for his column in the National Association of Teachers of Singing [NATS] “Journal of Singing” entitled “The Bach to Rock Connection” – dedicated to non classical pedagogy.
The weekend in June will be aimed at teachers of young voice, choral conductors of young choirs and young singers who wish to sing contemporary music.
He will be asked to work with soloists, small ensembles, and is offering to work with those teachers brave enough to be a soloist in a masterclass.
There will be sessions appropriate for H.S.C. students [years 10, 11 and 12], who will gain some invaluable advice to help them in their preparations for this important examination.
Robert will present some techniques in assisting teachers to instruct students how to ‘cross over’ from classical to non classical styles. Teachers have often mentioned their lack of confidence in dealing with the many styles which they are asked to teach.
The topic of children’s and teenage belting will be included in the weekend’s program.
We have a responsibility to the young people who come to us, to help guide them and give them ways to sing healthily and produce pleasing results.
Whether you are a voice teacher, choral conductor or singer of any age who is involved in singing contemporary commercial music, this weekend offers you many gems, and you will be given the chance to ask questions of this expert in child pedagogy.
Robert will also be available for PRIVATE LESSONS teacher or student on 7, 8, and 14 June. These can be arranged through Carol-ann.
