Wirtz 215 Instruct Black Box 3: Tues 2:00PM - 3:50PM

Overview of class

Group instruction in vocal musical theatre technique and repertoire. You will sing as a group or individually in every class. The primary course objective is to improve your individual instrument and approach to singing, so that you can more fully express yourself as a singing artist. Class will consist of a group vocalization, technical exercises, and individual repertoire work. All classes will start with group warmups that are targeted towards skill building. A new vocal concept will be introduced in each class. Each class will include individual singing; sometimes this might be as simple as taking turns executing a vocal exercise, sometimes it might be singing a line of a song, and sometimes it will be 10-12-minute individual work sessions where I will give specific feedback on short cut of a song. You'll also have the opportunity to encourage and give feedback to peers. Solid preparation on your own is a must, as there is not time to learn the music during these sessions.

Class Materials (Required)

3 Ring Binder with printed sheet music OR a tablet to view music, and a device to record and play back melody line and accompaniment (as preparation for working in-class). $10-30 for print/copy/purchase of music
