We let loose our feel-good hormones as we fill the room and each others’ ears with sound of our common voices. And along the way, we really feel the truth of the cliché that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We sharpen our voices and our awareness of how to get the most out of it.
Maybe you love to take the stage and sing in front of others? Maybe you’d rather hide a bit? We have room for everyone. The joy of singing is the unifying element and together we create a safe space where we dare to lower the parades and look “stupid” in front of each other. Along the way, we make mistakes and practice, and we learn how to work through possible stage fright or nervousness and learn more about what works and what doesn’t work when you’re on stage.
We do singing exercises and games, and learn a lot of singing theory and techniques, but above all we love the joy and fun of letting the parades fall and sing at the top of our lungs. Last but certainly not least, we perform to great applause from the school’s other students and whoever else we can catch as listeners.
Folk high school and singing are inextricably linked and Singing is the class where students with a special interest in singing can sharpen their voices even more. Based on your level we build on your skills. We practise singing exercises and games and touch on the theory behind singing techniques.
Whether you are experienced or an untrained singer you will get the experience of becoming part of a large, well-singing unit. We promise you that you literally will experience how it feel to pull together and act in concert.
