Students learn to create a healthy sound with efficient breath support, body awareness, and sound projection. Through group and solo songs, musical games/activities, movement play, and simple improvisation, young singers will gain confidence in their ability to sing and share music. Students will learn music fundamentals transferable to any instrument, making this an accessible first entry class. The class is limited to 8 students and is focused on preparing students for private instruction and/or Elementary level group classes.
