\n\tAbout Jenie<\/strong><\/span> <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJenie Oliver has been involved in education and singing for many years. As performer and more recently imparter, she has recently started facilitating workshops which enable people to 'find and develop' their voices, literally and figuratively speaking. Research shows that singing is a vital health-giving form of expression and scientific studies show elevated immunity, less stress, less depression and overall improved health and confidence as a result. Her main interest is to give people the tools to use their voices and to break down barriers, such as fear and negative ideas about the voice. Physiologically, the larynx is designed for singing due<\/span>
\n\tto the very nature of the stretching and shortening of the vocal folds to create different pitches, so we can all therefore vocalise!<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWorkshops<\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are 3 workshops in the series. <\/span>The first is entitled ' Finding your voice'. The subsequent two are aimed at taking the participant further down the road of self- discovery in terms of 'developing and applying the tools'.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSinging opens up channels for expression and better communication and articulation,  and is a source of emotional release as well.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a result of these, Jenie started a 'Pop Choir' as many of the participants wanted to continue to sing! This meets every Thursday and is open to all who love singing, male and female, young and old, experienced and inexperienced. In a matter of months, the group has grown in number and ability and can already sing 3 or 4 part harmonies!<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEach workshop is 2 hours long and the series of 3 is priced at R 600.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t'Singing empowerment' cds are available at an additional cost of R100 each.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
