Volker Dymel

It was the perfect weekend. Like a little vacation - with singing.
When I saw the program, I thought to myself, how are we supposed to learn anything with all the free time and the short rehearsal sessions? But it worked really well. The short rehearsal sessions meant we were very focused and could concentrate the whole time. It never got boring and, as if by chance, I learned a lot about singing.
In the free times, you could talk to singers from other choirs and make lots of contacts.
Volker was always very close to the people and we were all pleased that we were able to get to know Sandra.
The only thing that was a bit crazy was the choice of songs for the communion service. But it obviously didn't even bother the priest.
My conclusion: A fantastic weekend - period.
I'm already looking forward to the next time (and will have enough "Gloagöid" with me for coffee ;) )

I was thrilled by Volker Dymel's gospel workshop! A week off and immersion in the spirit of gospel singing was a very special experience for me.

It was a week of fellowship, joy and development.

Volker's clear and humorous manner created the framework and basis for these successful days, during which we learned the songs and performed them in a fantastic concert at the end

Volker created an atmosphere of trust in the small groups, so that I was able to overcome blockages and experience my voice in a new way through his impulses, enabling me to develop my singing further.

I also found the interaction and interplay with Brian valuable, as the two complemented each other wonderfully.

The choice of songs was wonderful and the songs still sing and resonate in me and accompany my days.

A gospel workshop with a long-term effect -
Thank you!

It was my first time at one of Volker Dymel's workshops and, to be honest, I had no expectations. I was all the more pleasantly surprised at how perfectly organized and well thought out everything was. The training in the small groups was a real enrichment for me, even though I have been singing in a choir for a long time. Overall, I was challenged in every respect and really grew beyond myself. The group was great and it was nice to be together. The really nice hotel and the incredibly delicious food rounded off the week. I will definitely be back next year!!! It's a bit addictive...🤷‍♀️😃

Dear Volker and Brian,
I can only say that it was an absolutely perfect week in Mallorca with you.
The predetermined structure and planning, the selection of songs, the realization in the individual voices and finally the overall work, it somehow built itself up for me. Some of the lyrics came into my head through the repetitions. A successful concept, which you conveyed with so much dedication, motivation, power and your palpable love for what you do.
The work in the small groups was an absolute enrichment for me. I was able to get to know my voice in a new, different, more intense way and with a "wow" feeling. That really touched me. Thank you for that!
My little solo took a lot of effort at first. Volker you gave me the tools to do it and what can I say... I made it! It certainly wasn't perfect, but I was suddenly able to bring it to the stage with a good feeling. I will continue to work on it and look forward to it!
I received this week as a gift from my family. It was simply a coincidence that I was able to take part in your workshop... but was it a coincidence at all?
Thank you so much for great, intense moments...
Jesus is!

I am especially happy with what I can learn from Volker. Although I have been singing for so long, there is always something that keeps me going. I liked the workshop in Emden very much. The song selection was round, the level of difficulty in the feasible range. The group was harmonious and fun. It was a lot of fun and I am already looking forward to next year. Ruby.

I was very taken with the relaxed and exuberant atmosphere that prevailed in the group, which was also characterized in particular by Volker's cheerful manner. The vocal coaching was neither static nor technical but individually tailored to each person. Volker picked up everyone where they were and in my opinion he also brought everyone forward a bit and opened doors to a new self-confidence in voice and appearance. We as a team are very grateful for the day with Volker and are definitely taking over the sing-in exercises and working on the three-part harmony. It may have been very challenging for one or the other to audition alone, but in the end everyone benefited and rose above thanks to the encouragement and applause of the other participants. I am very grateful that I was allowed to participate in the vocal coaching and can only recommend anyone who wants to work on his voice and wants to know what is actually still in one to participate in a vocal coaching with Volker Dymel.
Many greetings,
Sabine Henopp

Volker, you made the coaching very interesting and varied. I also liked that you listened to every single singing voice and commented on it, honestly but also appreciatively.
Thank you again and God's blessing!

I have been taking part in Volker Dymel's workshops for 7 years. The workshops are a lot of fun and I can continue to develop vocally. I also always meet participants from previous workshops and a great community has developed in the meantime.

I can work on my voice through professional guidance.

Just had a brilliant week in Mallorca

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It was a very special challenge for me.

It's always great fun, even though I've been there so many times. The songs, the arrangements, the people, Volker with team etc. all around simply everything and next year in any case again.

It was the first choir weekend for me. I was thrilled and will definitely book again, possibly in September in Oldenburg.
With many thanks and greetings

The Vocal Intensive Training was a complete success. Great atmosphere, super feel-good - atmosphere for singing and super accommodation / catering. The food was great.
I take a lot with me from this workshop.

Thank you and I look forward to a repeat

I have now been to two workshops. It was just great and a lot of fun. He gets so much out of you that is just great.
Unfortunately, the weekend goes much too fast.
I'll be back at the next workshop in October.

Quick learning of texts
Dymel succeeds in forming a homogeneous choir within a very short time. 1.5 days of learning how to sing gospels, 0.5 days of repetition, then a complete concert with 10 songs that can be seen and heard. The audience was enthusiastic. A great weekend with nice new acquaintances. Gladly again!

Dear Volker, the workshop was mega-class! The weekend has brought me a lot and I have learned a lot. Apart from that, the workshop also showed me a lot in the personal area: let go of the old and go new ways. Courage for the new!
The songs still accompany me through everyday life and are often sung!
In any case, I will be back next year and I am very much looking forward to it.
Thank you for the experience and see you next year!

It was a very successful workshop. Although I had already taken part in a workshop and knew how it works, I was even more surprised that it was even better than last time.
Super preparation, organization and execution ! Many thanks Volker!

Volker knows how to combine fun, entertainment and professionalism in one. It is always amazing what he can tickle out of you. I am always thrilled by his workshops. The level is very high and I always take a lot with me.

Volker has inspired me sustainably for gospel singing. The next day I signed up for a gospel choir and now sing there.
