• Choir in a week | Falmouth University  Monday 20 July 9:30am to Friday 24 July 3pm Immerse yourself in a creative week of unaccompanied harmony singing in Cornwall, led by Pip Wright, Kana Kernow, a singing leader, teacher and community musician based in West Cornwall, and Jane Harris, Director of Songways, in professional-standard facilities. This is a wonderful opportunity to sing at the Academy of Music and Theatre Arts at the University of Falmouth, at Geevor Tin Mine and at the St Just Miners ChapelThe course offers a memorable week, 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).
    Pip and Jane have co-led this course at Falmouth since summer 2025 as well as leading 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” “Pip and Jane complement each other so well… the double fiddles are a special touch” 
  • A singing week on Lundy, a unique island off the North Devon coast - a glorious, remote and tranquil place, set apart from the mainland world. We will sing each day in different places around the island including the top of the Old Light, with also plenty of free time to explore and relax.
