The Series begins on April 14th with  “The Body is The Instrument” – a refresher course on breathing techniques and singing exercises and is followed on April 21st with “Maximizing Your Results” – an in-depth look at how to carve out practice time, develop goals and chart your progress. The last class on May 5th, “Finding Your Unique Voice”, will look at techniques to build confidence and creativity in your approach to music and performance. Each workshop is two hours and materials will be provided.
