Vocal Workshops
The workshop program runs over two terms, using a group dynamic to coach young singers about vocal anatomy, health and most importantly function. Course content will include how the body becomes the instrument when singing. In a firm but fun environment students will be coached on how to use and hone their voices when singing and how to establish their own disciplined methods of practicing and performing. This prompts the belief that they complete the program with more confidence, knowledge and skill to bring them success on stage and in life.
