Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
Do you need an engaging activity for your children this Fall break? In this engaging 4-lesson online course, young singers will explore the joy of singing through four vibrant, Autumn-themed songs. Each class focuses on a specific vocal technique, ensuring that students not only enjoy the music but also develop essential singing skills. We will spend two lessons on each song and concept, making sure that students fully understand and can apply what they've learned. By the end of the course, students will have created a virtual choir music video featuring their performances.

Ms. AJ uses a fun, interactive teaching style that encourages participation and collaboration. Each lesson includes warm-ups, listening activities, and practice sessions, ensuring that students feel comfortable and confident in their singing. Students will have opportunities to interact with each other, share their progress, and provide positive feedback.
