Umara Sinhawansa, the international award-winning singer, songwriter and producer, recently launched Umara Music Studio (UMS), a modern academy that provides music and vocal training for aspiring singers of all ages.
Umara Music Studio which is located at 348/1 Pannipitiya Road, Pelawatte, focuses on all aspects of vocal training such as vocal flexibility, vocal projection, vocal range, pitching as well as breathing techniques and performance. The variety of courses offered by UMS is tailored to suit the requirements of the students and includes 6-month and 12-month Certificate courses supported with comprehensive vital training. The students can take specially designed short courses from 1-month and upt 3-month courses. All sessions are conducted by Umara as individual or group classes with a very limited number of students to ensure personalised attention, greater interactivity with detailed focus given.
In addition to the courses offered, UMS organizes regular workshops that are catered towards aspiring singers from the wider population who are unable to attend routine courses. Periodically leading local singers such Bathiya, Santhush, Umaria and many other industry expertise are brought in, to conduct sessions where the students will gain valuable insights to nurture their talents. Plans are also underway to tie up with leading singers from overseas to conduct similar sessions and share their global experiences in creating music. In terms of the special needs and autistic children, the UMS approach is to provide “music therapy” which utilizes music as a platform for parents to spend quality time with their children to build the bond between them using various proven techniques.
