Kayaking to stunning locations that would otherwise be inaccessible, participants will sing on the tranquil waters of the Helford and at the water’s edge. Participants will paddle to beautiful spots such as Frenchmans Creek, seeing wildlife along the way. Singing in these unique acoustic environments combined with stunning scenery will make for a truly memorable event.

During the workshop you will quickly learn simple melodies and harmonies of beautiful songs in a friendly, group atmosphere. Guided by singer and vocal coach, Janice M, participants will sing a cappella whilst being inspired by nature, creating an unforgettable shared experience. Koru Kayaking will safely guide the group on kayaks as well as provide valuable insights to wildlife on and around the estuary.
The Wild Singing Workshop Kayak will include fun engaging warm-ups through to good vocal techniques, which you can apply long after leaving the event. It is an experience for singers of all abilities, including complete beginners, and will be taught by ear with no experience of reading music necessary. Your song lyrics will be provided on beautiful bespoke designed postcards for you to keep. Wild Singing is all about being inspired by the great outdoors and feeling good.
