Part of the Gospel Rising Music Festival, this is a group singing and performance workshop for all levels – no choral singing experience necessary!

This workshop will look at how gospel music has evolved over time and will introduce you to an original gospel chorus before moving on to examine a more contemporary gospel choir sound.

First, looking back, Audrey will examine how the music evolved by giving you a quick study of the “gospelised” spiritual form, looking at its use of blues and pentatonic scales and then moving on to explore how vocal techniques like enunciation, articulation, breath and vibrato are used to create the gospel choir sound.

Moving to a more modern gospel chorus, we will look at how to develop “call and response” singing, learn where (and where not!) to ad lib and look at how adding movement and choreography can enhance your gospel choir performance.

This will be a group workshop with a big sound and lots of opportunities to dive into the music and get your gospel groove on.
