Joan Dempsey Choir Workshop

Open to all ages, this heartwarming community choir workshop will be led by Joan Dempsey, a versatile choir leader, musician, and educator with a prestigious background that spans a BA from Trinity College Dublin and diplomas from UCD and the London College of Music.

The workshop is crafted to welcome individuals of all ages and abilities, aiming to foster an inclusive atmosphere where singing becomes a tool for joy and wellness.

Throughout the workshop, Joan will guide participants through a variety of musical genres, focusing on pitch, rhythm, and harmonious singing in a fun and relaxed setting. Emphasising the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of choral singing, the sessions will explore everything from the basics of breathing and posture to the excitement of creating instant harmony through rounds and part-songs.
