Focus: voice expression as an essential element of the rehearsal
15.00 – 16.00, 27 March 2025
Are you a choir conductor looking to make a difference? Whether you already lead a choir for cancer patients or are curious about the impact of singing in this context, this webinar will offer valuable insights, practical techniques and inspiration.
Join experienced choir conductor, Heleen van der Heul, and president of Kanker in Beeld, Cora Honing, as they introduce the Singing for Life choir network in the Netherlands and get a glimpse into the power of these choirs.
Heleen will share key elements of voice expression that she practices with her choir in Almere, including:
– The opening circle – setting the tone for connection and support
– Physical & breathing exercises – fostering relaxation and vocal freedom
– Mantras & humming – exploring sound as a tool for well-being
Through video examples and live demonstrations, you’ll discover how these techniques help singers find their voices — both literally and emotionally.
The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and connect with fellow conductors.
