I read an article in the latest Sounding Board (the journal of community music from
SoundSense) about the
University of Sunderland’s new
BA in Community Music at
The Sage Gateshead. Part of the course involves students “performing in an event which showcases them as musicians”.
This lead me to wonder: do I have to be a good performing musician (i.e. singer) in order to be able to lead a singing workshop or to run a choir?
