Everyone Can Sing - A Voice Workshop, with Dan Evans
This course will help you to find your voice and project it with ease and confidence. You may feel you can't sing or you may be an established singer of any level or style. No former musical knowledge is required. You will be shown how to listen, to sing in tune. You will learn how to breathe to sustain notes and you will be taught the calling technique to project your voice. You will experiment with arrangements to make songs come to life and you will be shown how to sing from the heart, moving others with your song. Everyone can sing and it's great fun.

London: An Architectural History over Two Thousand Years, with Hubert Pragnell
This course, illustrated with slides of paintings, engravings and contemporary photographs will trace the story of London's architecture from the fragments of Roman wall to the Swiss Re building known as the 'Gherkin'. We will see the pre-fire appearance of London through the engravings of Hollar. We will look in depth at the work of Wren and Hawksmoor in the post-fire reconstruction, as well as 18th century London as depicted by Canaletto. With the 19th century we are aided by photographs as a record of famous buildings, now lost. The course will conclude with London in the age of the High-Rise and a discussion of how London may develop in the future.
