Go Gospel
Why not treat yourself to a weekend away in the Cotswolds and Go Gospel, with Jo Sercombe?
What better way to remember the heat of summer than by singing some red-hot gospel! Experienced vocal tutor, Jo will help you improve your vocal skills while creating that special gospel group sound as we explore a variety of gospel styles from early spirituals to RnB gospel of the present day. At the same time you can learn about vocal technique, harmony singing and the gospel performance style as well as having a go at the swaying and clapping. No music-reading ability required.
