Welcome! I am Miss Alex, a professional singer, musician, actor, writer, and board-certified music therapist (MT-BC). I specialize in working with kids of all ages and have been fortunate to work with thousands of kids and teens of all ages throughout my varied professional career (so far!). I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree in Performing Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees in Vocal Performance and Music Therapy. My performing career includes musical theatre performance, theatre performance, vocal performance, and film/television/commercial acting. I love sharing my experience with learners of all ages!

This class is a supportive, friendly way to encourage and grow a love of singing, specifically through Disney songs. Learners will practice vocal technique through exercises related to posture, breathing, release of tension, pitch accuracy and awareness, and musicality. Each learner will practice these exercises as a group, led by the teacher, with use of live guitar or keyboard music.

Learners will be guided through musical theatre songs, as a group. Lyrics will be provided to print before each new song is introduced. Learners may purchase sheet music, if they prefer, and links to purchase sheet music will be available upon request.

Each class will focus on one Disney song. We will sing each song in two classes, depending on the needs of the learners in the group. Note: though we will spend two weeks on each song, learners are able to join at any time! Learners will be able to fully participate in class, no matter when they join. There will be a few weeks where we will have "extra solo weeks" in which singers will review songs that we have worked on previously in the section and allow for further growth on those pieces. Do not worry if your singer is just joining on one of those weeks. I will review songs enough that they will be able to vocally participate, even if they are new to class that day!

Learners must be comfortable using the mute/unmute button. Parts of the class will be taught with singers following along with the teacher on mute, with opportunities for each singer individually to unmute (as comfortable), to be heard by the teacher and other learners.

Note: Lyrics to each song will be provided. A link to purchase sheet music for each song will be provided upon request.

The approximate Fall/Winter 2024/2025 schedule of songs is below (subject to change and adjustment, as needed). More songs will be added as time goes on!

On weeks where we will not meet for class, this has been indicated by section. Please note the differences, depending on which day of the week your class section falls. For any class that is scheduled to be off or indicated as “no class,” you may stay enrolled and will not be charged for that week.
