This will be an elite vocal ensemble for singers aged 14 upwards. You will be invited to join upon a successful audition. There  are approximately 8-10 members. 

​

Auditions will take place via Zoom. You will be asked to prepare two contrasting songs with a backing track (YouTube etc) or live accompaniment (piano/guitar). 

​

As a singer, you must be able to;

• Sing with confidence

• Hold a harmony line

• Be open to a variety of styles and genres

• Attend monthly rehearsals (Sunday afternoons, times tbc)

• Have access to a smart phone or laptop to learn harmonies

 

We have an exciting new rehearsal space at Katie Wright School of Dance (Dovecote Road, Eastwood). My base for private tuition and group work is now based at the new studios. The studio is a large space with ample room to work with the ensemble.

 

Although rehearsals will only run once a month, I will send out harmonies and lyric sheets before each session. Singers will be expected to learn their parts before the rehearsals.

What’s in a name anyway...

Keeping in touch with our Eastwood heritage, ‘The Hummingbirds’ is a poem by

D. H. Lawrence.
