Breathwork meets singing for a life-affirming experience!

Come and join award-winning opera singer and voice teacher, Louise Macdonald on Monday 21st September, 2026 6pm-7pm in the Small Chapel, The Renfield Centre, Bath St., Glasgow, for the first in our new series of seven Find Your Voice Singing Workshops for Women.

Each workshop is a chance to explore, strengthen and enjoy your voice, in a safe, fun and nurturing community.

Voices change throughout our lives, most noticeably during perimenopause, menopause and beyond. These workshops are designed to give you tools to help your vocal range, breathing and confidence, which are often affected as our homone levels fluctuate, causing the sound to be inconsistent. You can thrive vocally into your mature years. This is the place to grow and discover what's possible!

Here is what a workshop participant said:

"With her warmth , Louise is able to create a joyful, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The choice of music and song was fab! The gentle exercise on our breathing has remained with me as I went back to my Choir. It was a very beneficial experience and it's thanks to Louise and her amazing teaching skills." Veronica S.

It is somewhere beween a singing lesson and a choir. You are welcome to join us for one workshop or to book as many as you wish. There is a theme each time and we will revise those we covered earlier in the year. If you have always wanted to learn to sing or have lots of experience, this is the place for you! All ages are welcome.

Here is what you can expect:

Gentle movement combined with the breath, to release stress and promote a healthy nervous system.

A singing game or round to have fun and create community.

Breathing and vocal technique on a given topic for each session.

Singing a new song each month in harmony, applying what we have learned.

Here are our themes for each workshop. The effect is cumulative but you are welcome to drop in to an individual workshop and you'll still reap the benefits. Each workshop, in a different way, will help you to sing with more ease and will help with your vocal range and confidence, in speech and in song.
