Dianne Stewart Singing Lessons

Wednesday, December 8, 2021 by Dianne Stewart | Studio News

Looking for a present for your singing friend? Child? Parent?  I thought I would make a list of some things that would be appreciated - and useful.

• Music Stand - these are really helpful for practicing at home - singers can free their hands and bodies from holding music and make it just the right height for them - so it helps with posture when practicing.
• Portable speaker - at its simplest this is a small  bluetooth speaker that can play your backing track - at home, hang it on your music stand and you are ready to go whenever you want to practice
• tickets to see a live performance - all performances are worth seeing, something local, something professional, big or small - experiencing live performing is not only enjoyable but it builds our understanding of performing.
• pre paid music lessons - all music learning supports musical knowledge and skills - pre paid singing lessons are available - SPACi run workshops as a part of SPAFest, or there may be other workshops available in neighbouring towns, learning another instrument or experiencing music in other ways like being involved in a singing group, choir or other activity all of these things build our musical and singing knowledge and abilities.
• Singing bag - something that is just for our singing stuff is really useful, and having it branded or fun in a singing way is a reminder to ourselves that we are singers and we are proud!

So, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and enjoy the holidays - I will see you back in the studio next year.

Hi Everyone, 

Just a note to say that I will be finishing up lessons the 2nd week in December - so the last lessons being on Saturday the 11th of December.  

I will be starting back again in the 3rd week of February - so lessons will start from Monday the 14th of February.

I will be available for lessons in January if you would like to book something in - just to keep you going or to get ready for a performance - I will be available from Monday Jan 10 to Saturday January 29 - but you will need to book in your time with me in advance - no regular lessons will be booked in for that time.

I will send out an email in the first week of February to confirm with current students if they are returning and if they would like to hold their current day and time - or if you would like to confirm earlier I am happy to do that - but from the 2nd week in February 2022 I will be open to new students bookings.

Next Performance opportunity - SPACi Take the Stage Open Mic - theme is Anything Goes so any song is ok - Friday the 19th of November at the Stawell Golf Club - come along and enjoy the night. facebook Event Link

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.
