Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir all-day Workshop, January 2020
WORKSHOPS AND COACHING FOR CHOIRS AND CHORAL DIRECTORS: Charlie has done regular workshops, clinics and retreats with groups and choirs of all shapes and sizes since the mid-1990s, in the US, the UK and overseas, LGBTIQ+ and mainstream. He also runs weekend retreats and five day festival programs. Here are two examples of recent workshops with Charlotte Gay Men’s Chorus and Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir. He specializes in workshops for choral directors, and enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues to develop new skills, share best practice and problem-solve together.
WORKSHOPS AND COACHING FOR JAZZ EDUCATORS: Dating from his time at the Royal College of Music, Charlie has long experience of teaching classically trained instrumentalists, singers and teachers to play jazz for the first time. The focus is on simple practical strategies and activities that demystify improvisation and make it accessible to all. His work is backed up by materials across many instruments, and he has written a number of books on the subject.
WORKSHOPS AND COACHING FOR ARTISTIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS: He has been the artistic leader of several arts organizations, large and small, and understands the challenges they face. This work supports artistic and organizational leaders and Boards to refine their focus and work together. In the process, he has found he can help them to re-engage performers and audiences, develop deeper community, increase the social and political impact of their art, and improve commercial success. Below is a small selection of workshops I’ve given in the US, UK and internationally in recent years, in choral singing, jazz, conducting and leadership.
