Intensive vocal workshop with Joanna Czajkowska

The vocal workshop is a unique musical encounter, based solely on practice with a minimum of theory – necessary for proper and safe performance of exercises.

It is five days of intensive work, but also playing with the voice. Five days of searching and getting closer to your authentic voice through emission exercises, working with the body and breath, releasing blockages, free improvisation.

The class program includes:

• daily vocal warm-up
• exercises to strengthen and relax the voice
• circle songs
• multi-voice singing
• exercises to improve style and sense of rhythm
• diction, emission, resonance
• specifics of singing texts in Polish and English
• improvisation work with the body and breath.

The workshop will be based on group singing, while one day (Wednesday) will be devoted to individual work in the masterclass formula – with the possibility of participation of other participants.

Working in an intimate group allows you to get to know people with the same passion more closely, to expand your repertoire, and above all to develop intensively by stepping firmly (but not forcefully!) out of your comfort zone. We will end the workshop with a small concert by the participants.
