Parking for choir rehearsals
Here's a reminder about where you can and cannot park at the university:
After 5pm, you may park in any University car park without a barrier.
There are the car parks on Durham Road, and on-street parking on Hounsfield Road; you do not have to pay in these, and these are really close to the Arts Tower.
Please take a look on our car park map:
http://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/roomandparking/map.html
You may park in any B or C car park. If there is a barrier down you obviously would not be able to use that one.
The barrier on Durham Road B goes up at 4.30pm and back down at 7.00am. (Open all weekend)
NB Rehearsals during September and the first week in October 2010 will be held at the Sheffield Springs Academy on Hurlfield Road, Sheffield S12 2SF. There is ample free and supervised parking on site and the Manor Top tram stop is about 300 metres away.
Maggie's vocal excercises
The vocal excercises Maggie has provided to keep our voices in shape (especially over the summer break) can be found in the password-protected section.
Voice tips
The folk singer and speech and language therapist Shan Graebe runs courses on use of the voice and on how to look after it. She has included a number of handouts from these workshops on her webpage and these may well be of interest to members.
The Choral Cure
We know that singing makes us feel great but now research being carried out is discovering how singing can actually improve your health. The benefits of singing for health are being rediscovered by health practitioners and patients, such as those attending "Singing for Breathing" sessions at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
