What is it?

Open to all non-professional singers of any age, whether enthusiastic amateurs or budding students, our voice clinics are designed for singers looking to brush up their skills and hone their technique. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to hit that high note that’s just out of reach? Perhaps you want to know how best to sing Bach, or how to prepare for an audition? Or maybe you’d just like the chance to sing one-on-one with one of the Dunedin Consort regulars.

Who is it?

Each session will be led by one of our soloists or directors, who will help you build confidence, work on niggles, and give you targeted one-to-one coaching. This year sessions will be led by Nicholas Mulroy, Mathew Brook, and Julia Doyle.

Interested?

Each singer will be allocated a 20-minute slot to look at a piece of music of their choice, or to work on a particular aspect of their voice. These sessions are free of charge.

The 2020-2021 voice clinic dates will be published here later this year.

There’s no need to book a space to come and watch, just turn up!

These sessions are open to the public, so even if you don’t want to take part, you are welcome to sit in and listen. Similarly, if you apply and we are unable to offer you a session, please think about coming along to hear our professionals working with the other singers.

‘It exceeded my expectations, Nicholas was extremely supportive and constructive with his criticism and advice. I felt like I had a new, practical approach to various aspects of the piece, in particular with my breathing.’
