How it Works
Days are split between group singing and rehearsals, 1 to 1 sessions, and smaller group sessions in hourly classes starting from 9am through to early evening. There will be plenty of breaks and chances for time out.
For the smaller groups sessions and 1 to 1 coaching you will be allocated to a coach that is best suited to your vocal abilities, but everyone will get a chance to work with all coaches throughout the week.
Rehearsals are the most exciting part of the day when everyone comes together to learn the repertoire for the end of week flashmob, showcase and island tour film.
