Steps to Solo Singing
with Saffron van Zwanenberg
Do you love singing in a choir or in private but feel nervous at the thought of singing on your own in front of anyone?
Steps to Solo is designed especially for singers who want to explore the next step, or have just started to sing solo: building the skills and confidence to sing solo in a friendly, supportive environment.
This course offers a safe space to try out new things without pressure. Together, we’ll work on practical singing skills that support both group and individual singing—things like breath control, tone, diction, and phrasing—while also giving you opportunities to step forward and try short solo lines at your own pace.
Whether you’ve never sung outside of a choir section, or have just started to give solo singing a go, you’ll find encouragement, constructive guidance, and the chance to grow at a level that feels comfortable.
Confidence is just as important as technique. Through fun exercises, supportive feedback, and group activities, you’ll learn to manage performance nerves and find your own voice. Sharing the journey with others in the same position means you’ll never feel alone; every participant is working towards the same goal, and together we’ll celebrate each step of progress.
By the end of the course, you’ll have gained not only new vocal skills, but also the courage and experience to sing solo in front of others. For some, this may be the beginning of a solo singing journey; for others, it may simply bring more confidence and enjoyment to the singing they already do.
Steps to Solo is an open door—helping singers build the foundation they need for solo opportunities now and in the future.
You’re welcome to bring some solo rep if you have any that you are working on, 2-3 pieces. Or any folk/ traditional song that you know is fine too, e.g. Amazing Grace, The Water is Wide. Please do contact us if you would like some ideas.
