Introductory Voice & Singing
May 5 @ 1:00 pm – June 9 @ 3:00 pm MDT
Tuesdays
Get to know your own unique voice, in your own unique body!
A gentle, supportive and fun introduction to voice and singing. Participants will be guided through the basics of breathing and airflow, learn how to generate volume without hurting their voice, and experience techniques for regulating the nervous system so that singing ‘in-tune’ becomes much easier.
This is an introductory class, but experienced singers are also welcome. Participants can expect group voice activities, and teaching attention devoted to individual growth.
