On Tuesday 11th June Sam Queen, NHEHS singing teacher and founder of the London Singing Studios, joined Senior Choir for a vocal workshop.

His mix of wacky exercises, which included feet tapping and walking whilst singing, throttling jumpers and friends and singing to various celebrity crushes resulted in an entertaining and informative workshop.

Here’s what Saira (Year 9) made of the workshop:

“We learned how to prepare our voices before singing, learning how to control our breathing while singing. Mr. Queen taught us how to calm ourselves and prepare for singing in front of lots of people, and how to gain confidence for a cleaner, crisper performance. It really helped improve each person’s performance, with helpful feedback tailored  towards each person’s needs. it made us all more confident, dynamic performers.”
