Testimonials
"We all need our ikigai (the reason to get up in the morning) and my ikigai on Saturdays are singing classes with Dynamic Meladies! I have been attending classes for almost a year and my voice has improved more than I ever imagined it could! My voice is now stronger, clearer and I feel brave enough to experiment with range.
The fun and very welcoming atmosphere of the class is another great reason to join the group. Each class starts with a proper warm up and with time I understood the importance of it. It is followed by learning new songs, their melody and harmonies. I was very new to singing and I really appreciate how dedicated Dynamic Meladies have been with me and explained everything I needed to know. The opportunity to perform gives that little bit extra focus on improvement and it is an empowering experience too!
The classes are very flexible, you can join online if you wish, and there is also an opportunity to explore online resources. If you were ever thinking about singing or are looking for your ikigai, come and try!" - Evie
"People who know me know that I am rarely moved to be effusive or over exuberant about things, and certainly not to the extent that I would write about them, so believe me when I say ‘Dynamic Meladies’ is something special. I went along with a friend but can assure you that you will only be a stranger for about 5 minutes. This is not ‘Glee club’, there are no cool kids or mean girls, there is no audition, this is singing for sheer joy with a group of women who will only make you sound better. I am amazed how rich a sound we make with only the melody and one harmony; you can’t imagine what happens when Sheena and Karen add in another harmony or how serious the looks of concentration are!
There are also laughs, we have gone looking for the ‘3rd minor’ and adopted the yogi’s philosophy that life is all about the journey not the destination. Sheena and Karen are very patient if, instead of singing your assigned part, you decide to improvise, go rogue and get it wrong.
Whether you want to sing for someone, or just for yourself (my in-car performances are frankly becoming pretty amazing) this is for you. Come along, meet the most welcoming group of people, take a deep breath and for two hours … sing!" - Laura
"I genuinely cannot recommend Dynamic Meladies highly enough! If you want to meet new friends; be able to sing “that” song at parties and sound really good; or simply learn a new skill but without feeling under any pressure, I strongly suggest you do what I did - come along and give it a try. You won't be disappointed." – Isobel
“I really can’t tell you how good it feels to be singing again, and in such a supportive and non-judgemental atmosphere. I was in more formal choirs and groups from the age of 12 until just a few years ago, but since then I haven’t been singing and have missed it terribly; I just didn’t have the confidence to dip a toe back in the water until Sheena and Karen came along. My health also hasn’t been great for the last few years, and this has given me a big lift, so thank you.” - Class Participant
“I get a huge amount from the singing, which in itself lifts my spirits, but also from the company - it's a very special group of ladies.” - Class Participant
