ND Vocal Ensemble: Vocal Improv Experience

Free Your Voice | Singing Journey with ND Vocal Ensemble

Explore your voice in a supportive and uplifting environment. Led by vocal coach Nathan Devonte, this engaging 8-session vocal improv experience welcomes everyone — whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced singer looking for a new challenge.

Each fun and relaxed session will help you build confidence, develop vocal techniques, and sing in harmony with others who share your love for music. The course culminates in an optional sharing session, where you can perform your favourite piece in a warm and encouraging setting.

As a special highlight, you’ll have the chance to learn and perform Don’t Stop Movin’, Grow Little Tree, and an original song. The programme ends with a summer performance at the Crossrail Rooftop Garden, Canary Wharf, on 14th July, offering a magical space to celebrate your progress.

With no pressure or expectations, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the joy of singing in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Discover the power of singing together!
