Sing Well As You Age:
Freeing your voice with Sarona Mynhardt

Workshop overview

Join us for a fun and interactive workshop, providing you with the tools to achieve and maintain a healthy voice as you age. Sarona Mynhardt will lead you through a basic vocal technique system and introduce you to a five-day workout with exercises that are easy to follow. These exercises will help you work towards maintaining a rich and consistent tone throughout your range, access to both high and low notes, efficient breath management through phrases, the control and skill to sing any music you wish—and most of all, the confidence to sing and enjoy the sound of your own unique voice!

About the instructor

Picture
Born and raised in South Africa, Sarona Mynhardt completed her education degree in Pretoria​. ​Her formal voice training culminated in postgraduate work at the Conservatory of Music at North-West University in Potchefstroom. Following ten years of teaching in South Africa, Sarona immigrated ​with her husband and two children ​to Canada​ in 1996​. In 1997 she founded the White Rock Children’s Choir, which had Choirs at several levels under her artistic direction for 20 years. The Choir participated regularly in International Festivals, and she conducted them in prestigious venues ​a​round the world. Highlights ​included ​an a performance ​​ for ​Archbishop Desmond Tutu​ in ​St Georges Cathedral in Cape Town​, and an ​invitation by Mr. Henry Leck to perform in Carnegie Hall as part of a Festival Chorus under his direction​. ​Over the past ​15​ years Sarona ​has ​organized two ​BC ​Children’s Choir Festivals​​ celebrating diversity and World Music​.

Sarona has taught Music in both the public and private school systems here in Canada, ​s​he was on the board for the BC​CF ​for five years, and received the BCCF Willan award for outstanding service to the BC Choral Federation in 2015. She regularly serves as a Guest Conductor for Honour and Festival choirs, Adjudicator at Music Festivals, and Clinician for Conductor and Choral workshops. Sarona has taught Vocal, Choral and Leadership workshops on several trips to both Taiwan and South Africa, and she has been on the faculty for the BCCF Choral Directorship Courses since 2006. Sarona has participated in and completed level three of Creating Artistry – Conducting Courses and Master Classes with Henry Leck and Vocal Training with Steven Rickards at Butler University in Indianapolis. Together with Henry Leck she co-conduced a North American Choir on a 14 day Concert Tour of South Africa in 2008. Sarona is a registered teacher of SongShine - a program for those with vocal challenges, including vocal atrophy and the aging voice. The program is based on the leading edge science of neuroplasticity and the brain’s ability to reorganize and change itself through singing and music. Sarona recently moved to the Sunshine Coast where she founded the Inspirito Women's Vocal Ensemble, lead SongShine classes, and continue to teach voice at her private studio​ to singers of all ages.​
