Learn To Sing For Complete Beginners
Discover your hidden voice with our 12-Week Beginners Singing Course for women!
Our Autumn Course finished in October 2024. Please register your interest if you would like to take part in our next Course starting in January 2025.
Why should I join?
This course is for you:
- If you have always wanted to sing but have not felt confident to try
- If you have previously thought that you couldn’t learn to sing
“I have always wanted to be able to sing and believed I was tone deaf and just couldn’t and would never be able to “hold a tune”. I saw the advert for the Dynamic Meladies Beginners Singing course and it looked really interesting and I thought I would give it a go.
I am so glad I did. I now believe I do have a voice and feel more confident singing and learning tunes and lyrics. Karen and Sheena are two very professional teachers whilst being really friendly and encouraging. They made me feel safe.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn to sing.” - Mary
We believe that everyone can learn to sing and we created this course to enable you to take one step at a time and start to develop a voice that you will be proud to share!
How Does The Course Work?
It is a 12-week course, full of all the good stuff you need to know to start your singing journey. The Course is comprised of 12 face-to-face Classes* plus 4 Headstart Videos packed with helpful information.
As well as putting your new knowledge into practice by working on songs and experiencing the joy of singing together, you will also develop your musical ear, discover more about your own voice, and find out how to select material, practise effectively and perform with confidence.
(*If it is not practical for you to join us in Glasgow for the face-to-face classes, you can take part by joining us online.)
How Do I Take Part?
Our Beginners Course runs for 12-weeks and is designed to give you the best possible start in developing your unique singing voice. The full course costs £150 but, rather than charging you the total amount up front, we enable you to spread the cost across the duration of the course by paying £12.50 per week.
Places on the Course are limited, so book your spot early to avoid disappointment.
