Course Description
This one of a kind course focuses on modern singers and their needs. So much of vocal training is based on Western European classical standards that do not apply to modern voices. This course simplifies technique for contemporary singers AND explores musicality from personal and creative perspectives. Weather you feel you need to tune up your voice or find your voice, this course will provide the resources you need to sing with strength and confidence! The course builds to a final zoom performance at the end of the 8 weeks to give you a chance to show off everything you’ve learned!
