"The thing that we can't quite verbalise"
Manage episode 390546073 series 3516454
What is the special magic that comes from singing in a group? David Lawrence attempts to explain it through is own experiences as a conductor of singing across a huge range of contexts, from inner city youth choirs to symphony choruses to the vast Young Voices children's stadium singing concerts.
To close Season 1 of Inspiring Voices, David and podcast host Baz look back on their various choral collaborations over the years through a wellbeing lens, covering teenage singing, the National Teachers' Choir, singing and conducting for the non-confident adult, and how to get the best from any choir or singing group.
Inspiring Voices is the new podcast from the Sing Up Foundation. Its first season explores the power of singing to transform children and young people’s lives.
Through conversations with singers, leaders, researchers and other specialists, we consider the unique role of singing, songwriting, voice exploration and creative music-making in improving children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The Sing Up Foundation believes in the power of singing to improve health and wellbeing – so listen in and be inspired!
