Voice | Emily Eagen | All Levels | Period 1 | Week 2 (July 13-18, 2025)
In this all-levels class, we’ll start with a vocal warm-up and dive into different aspects of vocal technique, from breathing to resonance to phonation to articulation and beyond! Then we’ll take turns singing for each other, where students will get the chance to workshop their song, get one-on-one feedback and practice performing for a group. It’s helpful to come with a few songs you can sing from beginning to end (a cappella or with an instrument), but we’ll learn a few songs that work well for anyone to take a turn. We’ll work through nerves, stage fright and get to a place where you feel more and more comfortable with delivery and can take the tips for vocal technique to sing with ease and expression. Come sing!
