Singing is one of the greatest expressions of joy human beings can share. Learn the fundamentals of good singing--including posture, breath control and voice production--in a friendly, supportive and fun environment. Develop basic skills in diction, reading music, projection, and stage presence alongside the more practical issues related to singing. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of exercises and songs of various styles in both group and solo settings. Topics to be covered include posture, breathing, production and articulation of tone. As your confidence grows you will sing solos and ensemble pieces with your classmates, and will prepare a solo song for the final concert.
Note: This course is oriented towards beginners, but singers of all levels are welcome.
