to produce sounds. Our voices are musical
instruments. These small group sessions will
teach students the basics of singing: breathing,
diction, abdominal support, tone quality,
phrasing, expression, etc. No prior instruction
is required. Adults and teens are welcome.
Access to a keyboard in between lessons is
helpful but not required. A minimal book fee is
payable to the instructor the first night of class
(in cash).
