📢 BOOKING NOTICE: For classes with no current enrollments, please book at least one week in advance to allow time for other learners to join. Thank you! --- Hi everyone! I'm Nicole, a professional R&B/pop vocalist, and I'm thrilled to invite you into the fascinating world of singing through the lens of Taylor Swift's incredible artistry. As both a vocal coach and lifelong Swifty, I've designed this class to be the perfect entry point for anyone who's ever wondered about their own voice while singing along to Taylor's songs. Whether you're belting out "Shake It Off" in your bedroom or dreaming of performing on stage someday, this class will help you understand what makes Taylor's voice so special and how you might develop your own unique sound. What makes this class special: • We'll break down Taylor's signature vocal techniques and what makes them effective • Explore how she uses breath control, diction, and emotional expression • Learn about vocal health and basic singing fundamentals • Understand the journey from beginner to professional singer • Connect with other Taylor Swift fans who share your passion for music In each session, we'll: • Listen to and analyze different Taylor Swift songs • Discuss vocal techniques and musical elements • Share our favorite Taylor moments and songs • Learn basic music terminology • Explore what it takes to develop as a singer This is not just a fan club - it's an educational journey into the world of singing through music we all love.
