Students will choose songs from Wicked to practice and perform for the class. We will go over specific things that they will be watching for as they prepare the songs - Pitch Accuracy Range Timing Tone Quality Articulation Breath Support Dynamics Stage Presence Each student will need to choose one song for the week and send the teacher a message with their selection. Backing tracks can be found on YouTube or purchased by students for the class. Students are responsible for being able to play back the music on their end for the class. Day 1- Introductions, vocal exercises, and initial performance of song. Teacher will provide detailed feedback and guidance on what to practice for the next class. Day 2 - Vocal exercises, performance of song, and more feedback based upon the improvements and anything that still needs to be corrected. Also, we will briefly discuss stage presence and character assessment for each song. Day 3 - Vocal exercises, performance of song, feedback that will include all improvements and any guidance moving forward. We will also discuss the principles and techniques implemented within the songs and how the students can apply those to future songs.
Learning Goals
Students will be using vocal techniques to assist them in the preparation of a musical theater song from Wicked. After the class, they will have a greater understanding of how to practice a song, break it down in sections, and stage presence techniques to make the performance come alive for a potential audience.

Supply List
Backing tracks for the songs will need to be purchased from an online website or downloaded on YouTube if available. iTunes or karaokeversion.com are great resources. I will try to post the instrumentals in the classroom if I have them available. Students need to communicate their song selection at least 24 hours before the first class time.

I have been performing for over 30 years as a soloist or within a group. I began teaching in 2006, and I focus on performance based lessons. My teaching curriculum fuses contemporary methods with classical elements for well rounded vocal techniques.
One of my favorite performances was on the Grand Ole Opry Stage when I was 19. Reviews
