VOCAL TECHNIQUE AND PERFORMANCE Grades 7th-10th and 4th-6th In this small group, individual attention will be given to each voice as we practice proper breathing, posture, support, placement and projection. The voice at this age is going through lot of growth and change…what a great time to begin training! We will overcome any "bad-habits," building healthy singing habits and confidence in performance. Students will prepare songs, focusing on interpretation, artistry and stage presence as they perform for their peers.

Grades 4th-6th Fridays 4:45-5:30 pm, Instructor: Beth Kenniv

MUSICAL THEATRE Grades 5th-9th Learn to create characters, act and move on stage while singing properly. The focus is to build effective singer/actors who connect with their audience in song. Students will experiment with drama exercises, staging, choreography, mock auditions, group singing and solo singing. In each 12-week session we will study, sing, choreograph and perform several selections from great Broadway musicals. Students are encouraged to take a vocal technique class (or private lessons) before or while taking this class.
