Our Sing from the Heart singing retreat holidays in France are led by Peter Evans - who had over 25 years experience as a singing teacher and vocal coach in the South East of England before moving to the beautiful Limousin region of France. Peter was taught by renowned vocal coach and authority on the voice Tona de Brett.
Find your voice and sing from the heart
Fun, friendly and supportive group singing holidays in France
We keep our residential groups small (up to 8 people) which allows us to personalise and tailor the retreat more effectively to the specific needs and wishes of the group. We will also be joined by some members of our local choirs for the daily singing workshops and performance night.
As well as teaching good vocal and performance techniques Peter also works with the emotional blocks, fears & negative voices people can have that stop them from singing wholeheartedly & fully, or even perhaps from singing at all. So if you haven't sung since school or only sing in the shower don't let that stop you. This is the week for you too. Singing is for everyone!
"If you can walk you can dance. If you can talk you can sing."
A typical Sing from the Heart singing retreat day
Afternoons are spent on individual vocal sessions with Peter and enjoying your free time. Do as much or as little as you would like; from the many beautiful walks straight from our front door, relaxing at one of the beaches at Lac De Vassiviere, to mountain and road cycling, horse riding, art galleries, live music and regular local food and craft markets, there is much to discover and explore in your free time here in the Limousin. There is also the opportunity to book a holistic treatment with Ema if you would like to.
Evenings are spent enjoying a shared group meal and perhaps a trip to a local market or live music gig.
Our end of week performance
The group songs we have learnt during the week, (plus solo songs from any students who would like to do one), are showcased in the Performance Night at the end of the week, where a friendly gathering of Peter's local students and neighbours will make up our guest audience. An informal and fun evening of singing with a supportive and appreciative audience, and a chance to sing a solo song if you would like to or just enjoy singing in the group.
Group singing has been scientifically proven to lower stress, relieve anxiety and elevate endorphins. Singing is joyful and benefits our health and wellbeing too. Singing changes your brain. Read more about why you should sing - the joys and benefits.
