Hello! This is a beginners group vocals class in which you will learn the fundamentals of developing a voice for the stage! This is for students within or close to ages 13-18 who are beginner singers. No experience is necessary, just come ready to sing, and with a 45 second-1 minute cut of a song that you like to perform. 

In this class we will cover topics such as: proper warm-ups, vowel placement and sounds, healthy breathing for singers, and breaking out of your comfort zone.

The class will be structured as follows:
1. We will start class with a group warm-up.
2. Next, we will reflect on some short clips of past Broadway performances and discuss how the performers use their voices on stage. [I will be sharing my screen with you at these times, we will watch the clip, and then discuss!]
3. We will then learn vowel shapes, placements and sounds that are needed for singing on stage, as well as the fundamentals of breathing during singing.
4. Lastly, we will share our skills! Please prepare a 45 second- 1 minute cut from a song of your choice to perform for the class. This is highly encouraged. (However, you are welcome to observe if you experience any form of stage fright). We will listen to each performer, and give positive feedback to our peers.

My style of teaching involves YOU! Your input is very important, which is why I will create opportunities for you to sing for the group and participate in discussions. I also teach with the goal of helping my students to be confident and skillful. Once you start training with me, I am invested in helping you to become the best performer you can be. 

We will make funny sounds, so get ready!
[There will be opportunities for individual participation, but you are not required to participate or sing for the group if you are uncomfortable.]
