Voice | Kelli Jones | All Levels | Period 2 | Week 1 (July 6-10, 2026)
This all-levels welcome class is all about singing Cajun songs together and having fun with them. We’ll learn a handful of classic Cajun standards and maybe a couple of easier ballads, focusing on learning by ear and singing as a group. No need to read music or have any experience with Cajun singing, everyone is welcome, whether you’re a seasoned singer or just curious to try it out. We’ll talk a little about style, attack, lyrics, and pronunciation, but mostly we’ll just sing, listen, and explore the many wonders of cajun vocals!
