Competitions and Eisteddfods are a great way to build your performing, set yourself some goals and get some feedback from high level judges working in the performing industry. Our local Eisteddfod is in Horsham - the Wimmera Music Eisteddfod - Ararat Eisteddfod does not have vocal sections.
If you are interested in entering have a look at the Schedule in the online resources section of the website there is an open section, a song from a musical or film section as well as a duet or trio section - all of them are divided into age groups and there is even a section for novice learners who have been taking lessons for less than 18 months. Get in touch and we will work together to prepare a selection for you to perform and I will support your entry.
I encourage all of my singers to work towards performing, competitions and exams as sharing our music with others is a great joy (but if you just want to sing for your own enjoyment that is ok too - we can cheer on our peers who want to challenge themselves with these kinds of events.)
Enjoy singing and I will see you soon.

Hello to you all,
So individual lessons have started back. There are still a few spots available, room for another 2 or three students. And after that I will have to look at if I can make more afternoons or weekend times available so get in touch and set up an introductory lesson time to kick things off.
I am back at Eventide Homes leading their singing group, and it is so much fun to sing songs with them. Unfortunately it is taking a little longer to get the SPACi programs, Come and Sing community singing group and Young Ones junior singing and drama program back up and running - but believe me I am working with the venue and with the SPACi committee to get all of the paperwork, planning and budget completed - so that we can get back to singing and playing together.
I really missed my singing last year and am so looking forward to seeing you all and singing with you this year.
Come sing with me - lets sing together.

Things are getting going again.
I am glad to report that I will be back at Eventide Homes this week to restart the singing group there. Stawell Performing Arts have given the go ahead to restart Come and Sing and Young Ones, but there are still a few things to sort out with venue and increased costs due to COVID but hopefully I will find a way through that soon and have news on that score.
I am looking forward to singing with people again. Zoom is fun and will fill a gap when we can't meet face to face, but I do so love working face to face with you all.
Hope to see you all soon.
Get in touch if you want to book an individual lesson - my calendar is open for bookings on Tuesdays from 4pm and Saturdays from 2pm.
Keep singing.
Dianne
