Vocal

Tutor: Veronica Veysey Campbell

Piano: John Flinders

Guest Tutor: Richard Stokes

The vocal course offers a selected number of singers the opportunity to work in a relaxed and sensitively guided environment on classical vocal repertoire.  The tutors Veronica Veysey Campbell and John Flinders regularly work together and have devised this course to develop a broader knowledge of vocal repertoire and to gain greater confidence in performance and technique.  The teaching will mostly be in masterclass format leading towards performance opportunities at the end of the week.  Students should have a minimum standard of Grade 8,  although this may discussed with Veronica. There may be opportunities for younger or less experienced singers to join the course.

Comments from previous course participants: 

"The Aberystwyth vocal course was a truly enlightening experience.  Having felt for years that I have been struggling blindly forward with my singing, Veronica managed to not only teach us vocal and performance techniques but to greatly reduce the emotional and mental burdens of being a young singer trying to find how their voice fits with them and how they fit into a singing world.  I learnt such a huge amount about my voice, the way I think about my voice, and about myself as a person and performer that I now feel more equipped to take the next step with my singing.  The whole week was immensely fun as everyone was so friendly and Veronica and John created such a warm and safe environment that trying new things was easy and exciting.  I would certainly recommend this course for any young singer and hope to come back next year!"  H.

"Bascially, there aren't enough Veronicas and Johns in the world. Their generous enthusiasm, commitment and tackling of technical and performance issues has been an invaluable experience. Inspirational and unique - I would recommend to any singer." J. Cambridge
