Sing Eat Retreat Reviews 105

On my way home from a week spent at Huerta Belinda. From the word go it was an amazing experience. The wonderful villa, the fabulous food. All this coupled with the mentors who gave their all to ensure we all came away with more confidence and better vocal ability than when we arrived.
Anyone contemplating booking, don't waste any time - do it!

This was my second SER week. A unique holiday with singing at the heart, everything else catered for, so you can really focus on your voice and performance coached by the West End professionals!!!! . This Les Mis week was great. Matt the artistic director was so passionate and had done Les Mis for 5 years. He brought it to life!He was so skilled at directing our show. We had Leigh MD who was different to Steve Moss but just as fabulous. And CJ voice coach was enthusiastic and warm and the most amazing singer, inspirational ! What a privilege having their shared wisdom and feedback.
The other guests were lovely and it was a safe space to try and improve .

Zane and Cat keep all things domestic running smoothly and are wonderful hosts!

Evening kareokes and show after party highlights.

I will be back ! Best time ever.

Back from Salzburg and buzzing with joy! What a brilliant experience this was! It ticks sooo many boxes - SUPERB coaches (professional, encouraging, patient, endlessly enthusiastic, empathetic, hilarious), delicious food both in and out of the pension (healthy, varied, nurturing, flavoursome), stunning views everywhere (singing the Sound of Music WHERE it was filmed???!!! Incredible!!).... the days were packed, singing, rehearsing, recording, performing, filming, exploring, more singing, eating & drinking. The belly laughs!
The organisation was seamless. The wonderful Cat tirelessly holding our hands with her patience and wit and Zane making sure that the engine kept chugging along so we didn't have to think about anything other than having fun.
DO GO! You won't regret a second and will come back buzzing and renewed and with a pep in your step!

For all thinking of going to Sing Eat Retreat, go, you will throughly enjoy every minute there. The singing and tutoring are just amazing. The food is elegant, healthy and delish.The retreat is a five star experience.

It exceeded all my expectations.
The villa is stunning, the food delicious and the tutors were unerringly helpful and generous with their time and knowledge.
With the palpable love for singing and music in an atmosphere of acceptance for all abilities was truly inspiring.
Whatever your abilities or experience there is something for everyone on this retreat. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Don’t think about it, just book. It will change your life!

Words are hard to find to express the experience but here goes. If you love Musical Theatre, good food and fantastic company, coupled with the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business, look no further ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I joined on my own without knowing what to expect, and came back home with 23 new friends and amazing stories to share. The staff made me feel like a part of the group from the get-go, and I enjoyed every session, meal, and karaoke night we shared during this week.

I wish I could think of more words to describe what an amazing week I’ve just had in Tarifa singing ABBA music, but the previous reviews just say it all… please read them below!
Thanks Zane, for creating this type of holiday for us singing enthusiasts - a winning combination of great vocal tuition from the theatre industry’s professionals, superb accommodation and delicious meals, beautiful views from the wonderful Spanish venue, and guaranteed fun and laughter along the way preparing for a performance in a restaurant at the end of the week.
Cat (our host) cared for us all so well; nothing was too much trouble.
We arrived as a bunch of strangers with varied singing experience, and departed having made music together, singing in harmony!
I can’t wait to book on another SingEatRetreat holiday!

What an amazing and unique experience The Sound of Music Retreat was! Beautiful location and beautiful people. It way surpassed my expectations. We were coached by West End performers Kris Manuel and Mark Hedges, plus Leigh Stanford Thompson brought us up to scratch for the recording studio, which was awesome! We danced and sang all around the Salzburg area reenacting some of the scenes from the film, at the actual locations. It was quite an emotional experience for us. The public so enjoyed what we were doing that they were filming us and wanting to join in! This all concluded with a video on YouTube, including outtakes, which anyone can watch if you’re curious 😁
My friend even got to play Maria, which was her ambition, so you could too!
Well done Zane for your brainchild. You really have found the recipe to make dreams come true! They even looked after me when I was a bit poorly.
Thank you to everyone, and all the lovely singers who have now become friends 🩷
If you’re thinking about it, do it! The accommodation, hosts and food were great too. Highly recommend.

I flew from California to try Sing Eat Retreat. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it surpassed anything I could have imagined: a week-long intensive with practicing professional artists, CJ Johnson, Steve Moss, & Tasha Sheridan, all there to help me and 16 other hobbyist singers level up our musical ability. I walked away happily exhausted, with more confidence, and as a better singer. Cat Grant, our host, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time, coordinating care, rides, meals, funtivities, whatever we needed. Thank you all so much. I can't wait to come back!

Just finished the Mamma Mia Retreat in Terifa and it was nothing short of excellent across the board and having flown on my own for the first time Cat and the team were really supportive and kind. I definitely will be back!!

Sing, Eat, Retreat is one of the best things I have ever done! Beautiful accommodation and setting, first class teachers, amazing food and days of laughter, learning and singing in the most supportive environment imaginable. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Cat was fantastic from the minute we arrived- warm, hilariously funny, efficient and so hardworking. CJ, Tasha and Steve were incredible teachers and the staff at the villa were wonderful!

Have just returned from the Mamma Mia retreat. What a truly wonderful and memorable experience. The Villa was fabulous with wonderful views, exceptional staff and the food was delicious and plentiful. The music and vocal coaches were incredible, giving so much encouragement to everyone with the week culminating in a flashmob performance in a busy restaurant. We had a lovely, varied group of people, most whom had not met before, but that didn't stop us from partying late into the night. What a week to remember!

Just come back from Mamma Mia - probably the most tiring week’s holiday I’ve ever had, but definitely the best! The whole experience was magic. Having three such talented and inspiring West End professionals (Steve Moss, CJ Johnson and Tasha Sheridan) showing ultimate patience and unlimited enthusiasm made for an experience I’ll never forget. Their generosity was endless, thanks to all of them. The musical content on its own would have made for a great week but it was made even better by a fantastic location, great accommodation, fantastic food and a great team behind the scenes. And if that wasn’t enough, there was Cat! From the first contact pre-booking, through to the final goodbye, she was faultless. Perfect organisation, wicked sense of humour, unbeatable lip-synching skills - and don’t believe her when she says she doesn’t sing. Just put on The Proclaimers and watch her go! Thank you Cat for making the week perfect.

Just back from the most amazing week.
Thank you, Sing Eat Retreat. A lovely retreat with like minded people. All started as strangers but ended up as friends.
Three West End Professionals. Giving us tips & advice. We went singing & filming on location in Salzburg. Living the dream.. Standing in the same spots as Julie Andrews. Scenes from "The Sound Of Music" Plus a session in the recording studio.
Great accommodation & lovely food.
You don't have to be a professional singer just love to singing & willing to learn.
I wouldn't change a thing, I can't wait to do it again.

A brilliant week !

Sound of music in Austria … we visited many of the iconic sites … and sang !! We were proper performers … people clapped !

Based at a lovely B&B, we fine tuned the songs under the guidance of a West End musical director, with voice & performancr coaches. We then recorded the songs in a recording studio. Film & audio being combined into a video … can’t wait to see the final result !

I was (am) a ‘car & shower’ singer, many of the other participants sing in choirs, the retreat is perfect for anyone who loves to sing.

So much fun, singing, laughing, learning …. a fabulous week !

Unforgettable Experience!

Sing Eat Retreat in Salzburg was pure magic. A week of singing iconic Sound of Music songs, coached by amazing West End pros, recording in a studio, and even being filmed — all with 25 wonderful strangers who welcomed the Irish Cailín with open arms and quickly became friends.

The setting was stunning, and the energy was warm, supportive, and joyful. Whether you’re a confident singer or just love to sing, this retreat is a dream come true. I left feeling inspired, connected, and totally uplifted. Thanks so much to Zane for having the vision and courage to start such a unique event.

Highly recommend — memories for a lifetime!

Thank you guys , until next time . Fiona xx

Just returned from the Sound of Music retreat in Salzburg which is truly phenomenal and way more that I was expecting. Zane has created something truly special for singers of various abilities. Great location with the friendliest and most helpful hosts in Hallein. The production team (all from the West End) were just incredible with their ability, energy and enthusiasm, I came away having learnt so much, had an amazing time and made new friends. I have already re-booked another retreat and would highly recommend it to others. Thanks Zane and all the team xx

25 total strangers met in Halleil near Salzburg for a Sound of Music singing experience. This included vocal coaching, singing and acting some of songs to produce a short film. Yes! We walked through Salzburg dressed as nuns, or as Von Trapp family. It's the best experience I've had, making new friends, building my confidence and putting together an amazing mini sound of music film with fantastic West end directors. Highly recommend.
