A Beautiful Voice

Submitted by Te Wano on April 16, 2009 - 08:07.

my husband has a wonderful tenor voice which he has done nothing with although in his earlier years he sang a lot pop modern songs on stage and TV in perth, we live in kaitaia now ,every now and then I hear this most beautiful voice singing out over the garden so have decided its now time to do something about it and share him with NZ . Help! what do we do. He is constantly practising with his phrasing pitch and breathing.

Singing opportunity

Submitted by Wim.Oosterhoff on November 14, 2010 - 21:57.

If you send me your email address, I can send you a syllabus for our competitions in August. The syllabus comes out in February. The competitions include the Nelson Vocal Recital and Aria competition (previously the "Sealord Aria") and is a good experience and a chance to win good prizes.
In 2010 total prizes were $ 4800, but in 2011 we strive for well over $8000.00.
The Vocal Recital is held during a catered event in a cabaret-style ambience of a ballroom in an old mansion in Nelson and is really a "salon concert"; the aria competition (a maximum of eight recitalists can be nominated for that) is the following evening in the Nelson School of Music (a "big concert" hall event).
Apart from that, there are several open vocal classes in the same weekend and you might still be eligable to enter in the 17 and 18 year old classes (it is 5, 6, 7 August 2011).

Please send you email address to: wim@sound-advice.co.nz and I will send the syllabus in February.

Kind Regards
