Sense of Sound founder and BBC’s The Voice vocal coach to visit the Institute

The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance will be launching its new choir with an exclusive masterclass from Sense of Sound’s Juliet Russell on Monday 30th January 2012.
Juliet has spent her life following her passion for singing and composing, which lead her to create Sense of Sound in 1992, specialising in vocal training and in particular, singing. The company provides training workshops and courses as well as creating and producing commissioned pieces and developing music projects. It is also a professional session singing agency that represents some of the finest singers, songwriters and performers working in the music industry today.
Juliet has created choirs for Damon Albarn, Imogen Heap and Paloma Faith, and has appeared on BBC’s Bafta-winning series The Choir, with Gareth Malone, and Last Choir Standing. She has also worked with a wide variety of leading artists including, Ringo Starr, Bon Jovi, Seal, and is currently one of the vocal coaches on the widely anticipated TV singing competition The Voice.
Alongside her work creating vocal projects and new music, Juliet is also a singer in her own right, and is currently completing her debut album with a band comprising of Institute tutor Ben Barritt, former Institute tutor Svetlana Vassileva (Moby), Andy Mitchell (The Yailbirds), Alan Brown, and Kartik Reghunathan (Imran Khan).
Juliet Russell will lead a fun, up-tempo and energetic a cappella singing session, for instrumentalists and vocalists alike, culminating in the creation of a whole arrangement using only voices.
The Institute choir formed from students, tutors and staff following the workshop will go on to work on a its own projects leading towards a range of live public performances, for which plans are already in the pipeline.

The Charlatans drummer to deliver exclusive masterclass at the Institute

The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance is delighted to announce that The Charlatans drummer, Jon Brookes will deliver an exclusive masterclass on Monday 6th February 2012 at their facilities in London.
Jon is a highly experienced and talented drummer and began his career in late eighties playing in various bands until he eventually joined The Charlatans in 1989 as their youngest member.
Within a year of formation they had received their first gold disc and debut number one record in the UK. Plus the US hit single ‘The Only One I Know’, resulting in the debut album by a young British band in the US billboard Top 75.
The Charlatans has an impressive history with over 14 studio albums, 3 of which have reached number 1 and 24 top 40 hit singles. They have also sold live albums and concert DVD’s worldwide. This is has been achieved as a result of working with some of the world’s biggest record labels. They have also been special guests to The Rolling Stones, Oasis, The Who, The Police and The Stone Roses.
This exciting masterclass will kick off on the kit with some drumming, focusing on tempo inventiveness and groove. Jon will also talk about rhythm at the heart of most musical arrangements, referencing examples of musical origins and a look at the evolution and history of some musical fashions and how similar they seem when analysed.
Jon will also discuss his broader experience and about the music industry as a whole, working with producers, record labels and band management. Students will then be given the opportunity to play along to some Charlatans tracks and conclude with a music quiz and question/answer session including some anecdotal stories.
