Mr Cy Wood - coaching with a difference!

Hobart Harmony had the absolute pleasure of working with Cy Wood, who brought not only a touch of Broadway with him, but a whole lot of fun, emotion and connection with our music, helping us to find the "human" in our performance. Such a fabulous weekend, and so much that we can take forward into ALL our songs! Love you Cy!!

Band Camp '19 with Nikki Blackmer

What an amazing time we had with our international coach and diva extraordinaire, the one and only Nikki Blackmer, who trecked from Seattle to Hobart to spend 5 days with us. The two days of camp at Roches Beach were just incredible... coaching all day, and then a fun dinner and in-house show on the Saturday night, then another full day on Sunday before heading home and crashing. So much wonderful teaching, and so many things to practice, but WOW, what a sound! So exciting!!
