If you have always enjoyed singing you can now learn more in a supportive and fun environment. In the first few classes of this course, the students will explore fundamental skills of singing and learn about vocal health, anatomy, proper breathing and diaphragm techniques, vocal placement, how to create an even tone and to practice learning a variety of music. The second half of the course will look at how to make better use of your breath, mixing registers and the concept of support. Returning students will look at improving chest registers, singing in harmonies, exploring songs requiring a greater vocal range and performance techniques as well as working out how to deal with performance anxiety.
