Supply List
Please come prepared to share a 90 second selection from any song (usually a verse and a chorus). You can sing a cappella or with a track. Students will be asked to stand while they sing so I can monitor their stage presence and body movement. Please set your device up in a space with good lighting. A microphone may be used but is not required. We will be taking notes, so grab a notebook and a pen before class.
