Programma
The fun, nurturing, and uplifting singing activities, combined with time to relax, rejuvenate, and escape the stresses of everyday life make this an ideal holiday to focus on your own well-being. The intimate singing vacation is for those who enjoy singing, have never sung but would like to learn, sing in the shower, in a choir, or just want to meet new friends and have a wonderful holiday in paradise. You often find those with little experience gain the biggest sense of achievement.
Start the day with relaxing yoga sessions on the beach followed by breakfast overlooking the Caribbean Sea before you begin the morning vocal workshops that include relaxation and breathing techniques, uplifting group harmony singing, and the option for individuals to work on a song of their choice. The singing sessions are about learning a new skill or improving an old one and the aim is to encourage one another and enjoy singing together.
The songs are taught by ear so you do not have to be able to read music and the repertoire focuses on soul, jazz, gospel, and pop classics - the kind of songs that touch the heart and lift your spirit. Barbados Singing and Yoga Holidays also arranges for you to join and takes part in an inspiring choir rehearsal one evening and enjoy meeting and singing with over 50 singers from Barbados. You end the singing holiday with a live performance and party on the final night where you can put into practice everything you have learned.
Yoga
Included in your holiday are four morning yoga sessions at 7:30 a.m. on the beach.
Vocal workshop sessions
Each singing session will take place in the comfort of your villa and include breathing, relaxation and warmup exercises, vocal technique, group singing, and some individual performance training giving you the opportunity to work on the performance of your chosen song in front of the group. The aim is to create a supportive and friendly atmosphere so that regardless of your level, you will have the opportunity to develop and feel a sense of well-being and personal achievement. If you do not wish to work on a solo song, this is no problem - do what you feel happy with.
