Atelier "Week-end Technique vocale & Polyphonie"

The course led by Valentine Bâty is aimed at all people wishing to discover vocal technique and practice polyphony through some songs from around the world. It's about meeting your voice and experiencing this very special time of connection: singing together. Singing is learned and practiced. It revolves around techniques that are accessible to everyone – yes, even to you who may think you “can’t sing”! During the course, we will explore the elements at play in the production of sound through bodily awareness exercises, breath work and vocalization. We use rhythmic and melodic games which create musical cohesion in the group. Then we learn some world songs in several voices (polyphony). Singing together gives us an experience of connection through emotions and musical sensations, which are even stronger when we share them with other people. This is why we offer trainees the opportunity to participate in a small concert as the opening act for the VADRIEL vocal quartet. A rehearsal will take place on Sunday morning to review the pieces from the day before as well as those from previous editions in order to prepare for this little concert. Some pieces will be sung jointly with the vocal quartet. The course is accessible to everyone, beginners to experienced. There is no need to have attended previous editions of the course to register! During the concert you will be able to sing only the songs on which you are comfortable. The most important thing above all is to have fun!
