This ongoing class meets twice a week and will teach learners how to confidently sing stories. In each class students will learn a little about techniques such as breath control, diction, rhythm, confidence and storytelling through music. At the end of class students can pick from a list of kid-friendly songs and have their own karaoke party as they find ways to implement what they’ve learned. The main focus of this course is finding fun and joy in singing/rapping and celebrating each individual’s voice. I want learners to walk away feeling empowered to use their voice to tell a story through a song. 1. Week of <5/29>: Breath Control 2. Week of <6/5>: Diction 3. Week of <6/12>: Rhythm 4.

Learning Goals
The main focus of this course is finding fun and joy in singing/rapping and celebrating each individual’s voice. I want learners to feel empowered to use their voice. Each student should walk away with a basic understanding of what breath control, diction, rhythm, confidence and storytelling are, and how to use them to tell a story through song.
