What to expect

London House Cats Choir is a contemporary choir using House Music at its core. Professional voice training is given in every session which will equip participants with tools and techniques to progress their vocal practice and vocal development. They use 3-part harmonies; Soprano, Alto & Tenor and blend this into a contemporary ‘dance music’ sound.

By integrating her music industry skills and people passion, Kayo shares this unique project which is designed to enhance pleasure, confidence, vocal ability and personal growth whilst delivering audience satisfaction.

This workshop is suitable for those with some singing background whether it was back in the school days or through personal pursuits. You will find the session both fun and challenging.

By the end of the session the participants will be able to sing one or more songs from start to finish using their learned harmonic parts. Attendees will also get a chance to perform at the London House Cats Choirs Sing-Together on Friday 17 December as part of our Friday Sessions at Poplar Union.
