LMY0100 - Solo Singing
Course Description
We will dive into vocal technique and music theory as we learn the ins and outs of vocal training. We will learn the similarities and differences between opera, choir, Broadway, and solo performance; all is based on classical technique but with different expressions. Each day will focus on one aspect of vocal production and study/discuss a notable singer's technique. Students will record a video of 1 or 2 pieces, viewed by the group on our final day. Each student will come away with a repertoire list chosen for their voice.Course Outline
