Voice | Kari Sickenberger | All Levels | Period 3 | Week 2 (July 13-18, 2025)
Country music’s Golden Age spanned half a century, from the 1920s to the 1970s. Within that time period, there were only a few artists with the integrity, grit and talent to rise to the top to become the undisputed, true Classic Country singing stars. Among these was Hank Williams, who paved the way for many to follow. In this class, we will explore some of the greatest country songs of all time, though perhaps not the most well-known, and the stylistic qualities that made them great. Through close listening and lots of singing, we will honor the most exemplary Classic Country styles and have a lot of fun doing it. Be prepared to sing a lot!
