Come along for a fantastic day of singing in beautiful surroundings, at the gorgeous Freycinet Eco Retreat on Tasmania's stunning east coast. About the workshop: - This workshop is a celebration of singing and is suitable for people of all ages and levels of ability. If you just love to sing, or you've always wanted to give it a go, this is your chance! - The session is relaxed, supportive and friendly, and you'll be looking out to the Hazards as you create beautiful harmonies as part of a four-part a cappella choir for the day. - We'll sing a mix of great songs, most of them gospel - think big sounds, great chords, and fantastic energy! You don't need any music-reading skills - everything is taught by ear. - The workshop leader is Jane Christie-Johnston - Director of the Sing For Your Life! Choir in Hobart (www.sfyl.weebly.com), member of a cappella group Heart & Soul, and singer with guitar/vocals duo Silk (www.tadaa.com.au/silk). Jane has run workshops around Tasmania in locations including Bruny Island, St Helens, Triabunna, Devonport, Burnie, Woodbridge, Hobart and more!

The Arc has previously hosted wedding receptions, dinners, and more. - Basic directions (arriving by car): Turn off the Tasman Highway onto the C302 Coles Bay Road, approximately 25 minutes north of Swansea. Continue for 18km and turn left ('Freycinet Eco Retreat' sign).
