Everyone can learn to sing – yes, EVEN YOU! Explore the fundamentals of
singing in a relaxed, safe, fun, and friendly group environment that honors
your individual, unique talents. Learn practical skills to improve breath
control, pitch matching & intonation (singing in tune!), diction (clear
pronunciation!), and musical interpretation. Singing is a skill, and your
enjoyment of singing will increase as you sharpen that skill.

 All class members will receive individual focused attention as well as
group instruction, with the class being differentiated according to
experience when appropriate. Musical styles used in instruction will draw
from traditional folk tunes, musical theatre, and popular music forms, with
input from class members as time allows.
