In this Flexible Class you will learn the how to sing different POP styles and how to sing with heathen technique. Good for no experience as well as singers with experience. We will use Disney Descendants songs to practice and explore various POP singing styles.

Please note that this class does not meet live, it is a flexible class, so lessons are pre-recorded.

Each week I will post the lesson videos and materials. I will lead a vocal warm up that will take about 10-15 minutes. The warm-up helps us prepare our voices to sing as well as practice specific techniques. Then we will dig into the week's specific technique/subject. We'll look at/listen to examples from Disney Descendants, we'll do vocal exercises to practice the technique, and there will be comprehension questions sprinkled throughout to ensure the learners are grasping the concepts. After we understand our week's subject/technique we will practice it to the Disney Descendants' songs. At the end of class we'll play a musical Kahoot game - these games will build upon the previous weeks to ensure that learner's are retaining the knowledge they've learned in a fun way. Each week I'll also ask for a small part (or all of the student wants) of the song be recorded by the student and posted in Outschool for feedback from me as well as support and encouragement from the other students! In total, lesson will take 45-60 mins to complete.

Here is the weekly subject/technique breakdown:
Week 1: The basics: Breath, Vowels and Consonants, and Vocal Placement for Pop singing
Week 2: Singing Low Vs. High
Week 3: Riffs and Runs
Week 4: Belt-Mixing (especially those high, sustained notes)
Week 5: Rapping and Rhythm
Week 6: Performance Week! Pick one of the songs we worked on (or maybe a one we didn't that you wanted to sing) and put everything you've learned together!

How Learners will interact:  Learners interact with one another through sharing videos of them singing from that week's assignment and commenting on each other's videos. There is a Kahoot game at the end of class testing learner's comprehension of the lessons. Learners will also be doing warm-up exercises with me via the video. And there will be interactive questions throughout the lesson lecture! 

This class can be taken by younger or older children. Reach out to me if you would like to know if it is the right class for your learner.
