Whilst it is our aim to offer our members and all singing teachers a wide variety of interesting workshops and courses, if we do not get enough bookings, it is not financially viable for us to proceed.  Therefore, we have decided to amalgamate our first workshop into the first part of the second one that is planned for the 7th March 2010.

Colette McGahon will speak firstly about the first lesson with a new student, followed by our AGM, which will then be followed by a talk with Paul Deegan on Breath & Breathing for Singing.

Inaugural Training Course for Singing Teachers 2009 The last weekend in October 2009 saw the inaugural training course for singing teachers, which took place at the beautiful Dromantine Conference centre near Newry.

Heartiest congratulations to Ross Anderson on recently passing his Certified Master Teacher in Estill with Reeves & Moller.  Ross has been steadily working towards this qualification over the past few years and is one of the first to receive his licence from Reeve & Moller to practice Estill as a Master Teacher in Northern Ireland, if not Ireland.

Speaking to Ross, he acknowledged the role Tosini had played in introducing him to Estill Voice training........"it's thanks to you I was ever introduced to Estill, so thanks so much!"

We are very excited by this innovative new series of workshops aimed to support, refresh & energise our teaching as we head into the Spring.  These workshops came about as a direct response to the feedback we received from our inaugurgal Teacher Training course in Dromantine back in November 2009 and we sinerely hope that you will endeavour to support this initiative by attending some or all of the workshops.

Can you believe that we are so up to date??? Never knew what to do on this social networking site but I am learning fast, thanks to Tosini President Colette McGahon who put our site up.  Do visit the site and let us know what you think!

I am delighted that Belfast once again has a Music Festival.  Having sung for many years and learnt so much about the art of singing through the festival movement, I think this is a wonderful opportunity for young singers in Belfast. I would invitev all singing teachers to entcourage their students to enter music festivals as it is a wonderful preparation for those entering grades in singing as well as taking voice as their main instrument in GCSE & A Level Music practicals.
