About Candy Verney
Founder and Director of Singing in the Round, Candy Verney has developed her own unique approach to music making, inspired by methods used in Steiner/Waldorf Education, as well as studies in the natural world. Her passion is to inspire and create, through singing, a sense of harmony which gives the group an experience beyond the ordinary. Candy Verney.
Team Building
Candy Verney regularly leads team-building and de-stress workshops for conferences, local authorities and large organisations. She has extensive experience in teaching mixed ability groups in varied situations, including businesses, hospitals, social services, nurseries and schools. She runs regular workshops in Europe, including an 8 day course at Bild-Werk, Frauenau, Germany, a centre for practical arts courses in Bavaria.
Teacher Training
Recognising the need for more teachers to work in a similar way to herself, she also gives teaching seminars to develop the skills needed. As a result, several new choirs have formed in London and the West Country.
Journeying
Together with Sue Glanville, Candy Verney leads singing treks in remote place around the British Isles. Through connecting more deeply with the outer landscape, ‘Journeying’ enables people to reflect on the journey within: the two being woven together by the joys of singing in a group.
26- 28 September: Weekend at Ammerdown, a beautiful retreat centre in Somerset
Saturday 25 October: A Taster Day of singing and walking around Avebury and Alton Priors

Singing Books and Early Years Workshops
Using her wide experience of working with young children, Candy Verney has written two singing books for the early years: The Singing Day and The Singing Year. These well-received books encourage children with songs and activities to mark out the day and the year, connecting them with their environment and showing ways that people can use singing as an aid to family life. See hawthornpress.com for more information.
Using the books and her extensive experience working with young children, Candy works in Early Years settings to build confidence and singing repertoire.
