• Choir in a week | Falmouth University  Monday 21 July 9:30am to Friday 25 July 3pm Immerse yourself in a creative week of unaccompanied harmony singing in Cornwall, led by Jane Harris, Director of Songways, and Pip Wright, Kana Kernow, a singing leader, teacher and community musician based in West Cornwall. This is a unique opportunity to sing at the Academy of Music and Theatre Arts at the University of Falmouth, in the new CORE building at the St Ives Community Orchard and at Tate St Ives, led by Jane and Pip. The five day course will be a rich choral and cultural experience, with insights into Cornish culture, links to the places where we sing, opportunities to be creative and playful, tips for healthy voice use and effective choral vocal technique, and a chance to take part in a ‘scratch band’ and experience a Nos Lowen (a Cornish Ceilidh).
    Jane and Pip have co-led successful singing events at venues such as Halsway Manor and Buckfast Abbey. They both compose for choirs, play the fiddle, love collaborating and have a special musical bond. They bring inclusive joy and a rich breadth and depth of experience to all their teaching and music-making.
    "Truly extraordinary complementary double act of leaders” “Jane and Pip complement each other so well… the double fiddles are a special touch”
