Applied Vocal Technique in Song *In-Person*

Have you never sung before? This class is for you. Have you been singing for years? This class is for you. We will learn and review the basics of breathing and anatomy, exploring range, resonance, styles, and how to learn a song. We will do a series of exercises together and sometimes individually. Then, students will be invited to perform songs for the class and receive feedback on their performance.
