 "The Singing Child" including Lee's popular "Singing FUNdamentals" Toy
Box        =20

The Northeast Ohio Chapter of Choristers Guild is pleased to host
renowned clinician and children's choir director Mr. Lee Gwozdz from
Corpus Christi, TX for a workshop entitled THE SINGING CHILD on Friday
evening, March 2 from 6-9 p.m. at First Congregational Church in Hudson,
OH. Mr. Gwozdz is in Cleveland to be the guest clinician for the
Northeast Ohio Chapter's 34th Annual Children's Choir Festival.

This workshop will explore today's singing child. Types of children's
singing voices will be determined and heard via video demonstrations.
Ways of enabling any child to sing technically will be experienced by
session attendees.  Mr. Gwozdz will also demonstrate his Singing
FUNdamentals Toy box. For example, when teaching the young members of
his cathedral choirs the shape that their mouths should be on a
particular note, Gwozdz uses Mr. Pooch, a tennis ball with drawn-on eyes
and a slice cut through it, making it look like a three-dimensional
version of Pacman. His aptly named Mr. Moose teaches children to sing
high notes - Gwozdz tells his students to make their voice's pitch
follow the stuffed animal's ascent and descent as he tosses it in the
air.
