Students will also build confidence and learn the value of teamwork and empathy, translating to skills both on and off the stage.

Voice

This class will focus on building confidence and technical musical skills, training in sight reading, rhythm, and vocal technique. Solo and small group numbers will be explored as well as adding theatricality and movement to a musical piece.
