The NZCF Wellington Region invites you to join us for our spring workshop, ‘Viagra for the Voice’, with Judy Bellingham. This practical workshop for all singers focuses on ways to protect and prolong a maturing voice and reinforces good vocal techniques for a lifetime of choral singing. Judy is a charismatic and entertaining speaker and teacher, and an inspirational leader of vocal and choral training. We are honoured to have her here.
