Class experience
In this weekly musical theatre class, students will have a chance to build the skills they need to be a successful musical theatre performer using a musical song and dance number and song and script work. Each week we will work on vocal technique with exercises meant to warm them up and improve their power, range, support, and agility. We will then work on learning the chosen song from the musical section by section as I play the song and guide them to use vocal techniques such as mixing,...
Students will learn a song and dance routine they can perform, helping them sharpen their memorization and acting skills, and strengthening their vocal and dance technique. They will also pick a short scene or song for individual feedback.

Students will be expected to print out their lyrics and chosen scenes or have them on a separate device for the second class so they can read them while staying on camera. For the first class materials will be shared on screen and all materials/links will be provided in the classroom. If students want to practice the song for fun on their own they can get the music on iTunes, Spotify, or Amazon! Also a recording of the class will be made available to watch in the classroom so they can keep practicing. Students can dance with jazz/dance shoes or dance barefoot. Make sure students have some room to dance in.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners will need an open workout space, proper footwear, a water bottle, and may need to stretch beforehand. While the dancing is beginner to intermediate level and does not involve complicated or dangerous physical movement, students should be safe to avoid injuries and should be properly supervised.
