Class Experience

In this workshop students will learn a brief overview of the basics of how to be a Broadway singer. In the beginning of class I will teach the students how to warm up their voices properly and coach students in a new singing technique. Every week will be different! Some examples are: proper chin position, the different voice registers, an explanation of lip trills and humming, and how to keep their larynx steady. I will demonstrate each step and students will mirror me (if they are able). Learning how to sing properly allows singers of all styles of music to perform well without fatigue or damage to the voice.

We will than apply what we learned by singing along to various hit Hamilton Songs including: (week of dates)

Week of 2/14- Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells your Story  
Week of 2/22-  Farmer Refuted
Week of 3/1- History Has Its Eyes On You
Week of 3/8-  Right Hand Man

Please note, more songs will be added as time goes on. 

Lyrics and tracks will be provided. There will be the opportunity for students to sing solo to the songs listed above, if they would like. Please note depending on class size will determine how many songs and solos we perform.

Learning Goals

Students will learn proper chin position, the different voice registers, an explanation of lip trills and humming, and how to keep their larynx steady.

Parental Guidance

Please be aware that certain songs may contain tame swear words. I will use the filtered/edited version of Hamilton. If you would like a copy of the song lyrics prior to class I would be happy to provide them for you.
