Love Your Voice 2025: A Transformative Weekend for Classical Solo Singers

As the New Year begins, it’s a natural time for introspection and planning—a moment to pause, take stock, and envision the path ahead.

For us as singers, this season of renewal is also a chance to reconnect with the joy and artistry that make our vocal journeys so fulfilling. Singing, after all, is good for the soul. It’s an expression of creativity, a means of connecting with others, and a way to ground ourselves in something deeply personal yet universally shared. And that’s why I’m so excited to invite you to Love Your Voice 2025.

This 3-day workshop event is a cornerstone of my work within The Voice School—where singers come to grow, explore, and refine their craft. It’s not just about technique, though that’s a vital part of what we’ll work on. It’s about nurturing the whole singer: embracing the creativity, individuality, and sheer joy that brought you to music in the first place. This ethos is at the heart of everything I do, from my teaching to the events I create, and Love Your Voice 2025 is no exception.

Each day of this event has been carefully planned to offer you a blend of inspiration, technical focus, and community. We’ll begin on Friday, March 21st, with a relaxed evening gathering to ease into the weekend. This informal start is a chance to meet your fellow singers, settle in, and set the tone for the days ahead.

The chosen venues have a welcoming atmosphere, and their picturesque settings provide the ideal backdrop for this learning journey.

On Day One, we’ll gather at The Jubilee Hall in Winsham, a beautiful historic space, with a wonderful acoustic perfectly suited to our work. This day is all about artistry and creativity, inspired by the Greek concept of Meraki—bringing your essence to what you create. Through warm-ups, guided exercises, and collaborative exploration, you’ll discover your voice and connect with the music that moves you. 

Day Two will take us to The Old Rectory in Chaffcombe, where the focus shifts to the dynamic interplay between singer and accompanist. Working with a live pianist brings a new depth to your experience, and there’s something truly magical about creating music in real-time collaboration. The stunning music studio at The Old Rectory is an inspiring space, and I’m thrilled to have Geraldine Wills joining us again as accompanist. Her skill and insight make this day an unforgettable experience.

On Day Three, we’ll return to Winsham, this time to the intimate setting of Church Farmhouse. After two days of expressive singing and performance, this is your opportunity to hone in on vocal technique. We’ll address individual technical challenges in a supportive environment, ensuring you leave the workshop with practical tools and fresh insights to carry forward in your singing journey. This day is about refining your skills and deepening your understanding of your voice.

Winsham is a treasure, and it’s a joy to hold this event in such a warm and inviting village. From the community-owned village shop to The Bell Inn just steps away from Jubilee Hall, the village offers plenty of charm and character to enrich your experience. During breaks, you can enjoy the stunning countryside views or take a quiet moment to reflect.

In the evenings, I’ll arrange optional dinners at nearby venues—a wonderful way to share stories, insights, and laughter with your fellow singers.

Love Your Voice 2025 is more than just a workshop weekend event; it’s an opportunity to connect with a supportive group of like-minded singers, all sharing the journey of artistry and growth. To help foster this connection, you’ll be invited to join The Green Room, a private online discussion group. This is where you can meet other participants, ask questions, and stay updated on event details. It’s also a space to share inspiration and continue the conversation long after the weekend is over.

For those who are new to The Voice School, you might also know me through Little Soprano—my longstanding blog where I’ve shared over a decade of reflections, insights, and experiences from the world of singing. The Voice School and Little Soprano are deeply connected, both rooted in my passion for helping singers thrive. While Little Soprano captures the personal and reflective side of this journey, The Voice School is where that vision comes to life through teaching, mentorship, and events like Love Your Voice. Together, they form a comprehensive approach to nurturing the singer within.

If you’re travelling from further afield, there are plenty of lovely accommodation options in and around the TA20 postcode area. From cosy B&Bs to self-catering cottages, there’s something to suit every preference. If you need help finding the right place to stay, just let me know—I’m happy to assist.

Applications for Love Your Voice 2025 are now open, and places are limited to six participating singers per day to ensure a truly tailored and intimate experience. Observers are always welcome, and we can discuss options for this nearer the time. For Day Two, working with the live accompanist, early applications are encouraged to secure your place.

There, you’ll find all the information you need, including workshop fees, payment options, and booking links. Let’s make 2025 the year you rediscover your passion for singing, refine your skills, and reconnect with the joy that makes music such a vital part of our lives.

Love Your Voice 2025 is not just a workshop; it’s a celebration of the artistry, community, and personal growth that singing brings. I can’t wait to share this experience with you and see where your voice takes you next.
