Ongoing Singing Club: Sing With Friends

In this ongoing class, learners will meet to explore their own unique voice and learn healthy techniques to unlock the potential that all music makers have. 

No previous experience is necessary, and beginners are more than welcome.

Singers will start by warming up their voices with vocalise and technique exercises.  We will then sing through a couple of well known warm-ups and singers-choice songs and apply what we learned.   Singers will be welcomed to sing unmuted one at a time, if they wish.  There will be no pressure to sing in front of the class. 

The is learner-led and is formatted masterclass style, where we sing and get real-time feedback.  I also encourage off-week participation where I will listen to student-submitted recordings and offer feedback and communication via FLEX class-style. 

Warm-Up songs may include: You Are My Sunshine, My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, and This Little Light of Mine. Sheet music and/or lyric sheets will be provided. 

Learners will be encouraged to bring their own songs. I recommend singers attach PDFs of the lyrics and/or sheet music to the classroom page so that I may be able to be on the same page. 

I will be presenting the material through screen sharing, as well as providing PDF handouts.  My piano is hooked up through my computer and I use an external microphone for optimal sound quality. The mute function will be used throughout the class to make sure noise interference is kept minimal, but there will be opportunities to unmute, ask questions and sing.  

My teaching style is very energetic and enthusiastic, I try really hard to find ways to connect to the learner to make singing as fun and as accessible as possible. I encourage the learners to help each other, and I want to hear their voices as much as I can. I strive for a super supportive environment where we are able to give feedback that is helpful and constructive.
