Voice | Angie Richardson | All Levels | Period 3 | Week 2 (July 13-18, 2025)
In this class Angie will help singers sing gospel music effectively, including improvisation, ad-libbing and exploring the freedom of musical expression. In tandem Angie will take you through the history of the genre, its founders and much more. As with the choir, all songs will be taught by ear. The class is aimed at singers, but instrumentalists will also gain from Angie’s powerful approach to the keyboard.
