Room G12, Victoria Rooms, Bristol
Jo Sercombe BA

Spend a day with the girls singing your favourite soul classics as we explore the rich musical heritage of Motown Records through song. We'll be looking at vocal technique, singing backing harmonies, and how to create that magic Motown sound, in the context of group singing. Sing tracks by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Diana Ross and the Supremes and Aretha Franklin. No need to be able to read music notation, all levels of vocal experience welcome.
