I went by myself and wasn’t sure what to expect but had the best time. Had a great sing with very nice people. Lizzie was amazing!
Loved the Carol King workshop. Lizzie is so encouraging and entertaining. Really enjoyed my evening, looking forward to more workshops thank you
Brilliant fun for a Friday night with a big group singing lizzie’s arrangements of Carole king classics with lots of great harmonies - my first time but hopefully not my last! Sounded amazing to me, looking forward to the next one!
Another fantastic singing workshop with Lizzie Dean. 3 hours whizzes by as you learn two new songs in 3 part harmony. Lizzie’s bubbly personality ensures a great time is had by all. Looking forward to the next one.
These events are always fun and jam packed with singing. Led by the very talented Lizzie Deane you learn 2 amazing arrangements of familiar songs in under 3hours. I have now been to 3 of these workshops - all different, all so enjoyable, and I will be going again!
These sessions are always incredible fun...whatever level of experience you have with singing and choirs. Lizzie has a unique talent for teaching in ways that connect you to the song, music and lyrics, as if you've known it your whole life. The results are quick and I always come away with a smile on my face and a song or two in my heart.
Are you ever stressed by the end of your working week? Then I have just the antidote: a Lizzie Workshop with Singing Holidays. The evening starts with a Lizzie legendary warm up and you can feel any tension slipping away as you try and fail to keep a straight face. You will have so much fun, learning her amazing arrangements of songs from different genres and the blast you get hearing the voices altogether and realising you are part of this wonderful sound, well that's just priceless.
A welcoming group of friendly singers, mostly soprano and altos meeting from a variety of backgrounds. Lizzie Deane leads us with an adept professional style peppered with encouraging humorous observations, I smiled throughout the 3 hour workshop. Lizzie is a gem! TJ John Hilton
This was my first workshop with Singing Nest and I really enjoyed it. We covered "She Used To Be Mine". Lizzie's arrangement was beautiful and she had a really engaging teaching style. The venue worked well and the group was friendly so don't be afraid to go along if you don't know anyone else - it was fine! We sounded lovely, the only thing I would suggest is a faster follow up with a video so that the happy vibes continue post the workshop.
Really enjoyed the 3 hour workshop with the lovely Lizzie Deane, learning her arrangements, and singing in harmony with the other participants.. She is so welcoming, friendly, has an amazing singing voice, and encourages others to find theirs. Looking forward to the next one!
Singing holidays are simply great at what they do.Alex and Temi ensure everything is in place and you’re looking after from the moment you arrive until it’s time to go.The teachers are equally as good and show real enthusiasm.I recently attended an evening singing workshop with Lizzie Deane. It was a nice few hours with just the right amount of madness thrown in to learn ‘She Used to be Mine’ and finally nailing it all.I look forward to the next one!
Once again had the most wonderful time attending a Singing Nest Workshop last Friday April 21st led by the incredibly talented Lizzie Deane; this time we we were singing one of Lizzie’s stunning arrangements this time of “She Used to be Mine” by Sara Bareilles from the hit Musical Waitress. It proved to be challenging, but with an outstanding and charismatic Teacher like Lizzie who has the ability to get the very best out of her students; we soon began to produce some exquisite harmonies. Thank you to Alex Mills for giving us these wonderful opportunities, they really are second to none; you only need to look around the room to see the pure joy on peoples faces to know that these workshops are an incredible success!; can’t wait for the next one!
Who doesn't love to sing?! Lizzie Dean is one of the best you'll hear so when she does a workshop, it's a calender must go! She's not just a great singer and musician, she's also great fun, full of energy, so entertaining and engaging. I cannot recommend a Lizzie Dean workshop more, and the result?....not only a belly of laughs and good night out, but a beautiful musical arrangement of which you are part.
The ideal Friday evening tonic after a hard week - a musical workshop with the amazingly talented Lizzie Deane. Three hours of uplifting, inspiring and inclusive coaching for any level of singer, learning a song or sometimes two in 3 hours, with incredible harmonies arranged by Lizzie herself. Roll on the next one!
