Does your child love to sing and loves Disney Movies?

In this weekly Class, your child will learn the basics of singing techniques and gain confidence in their own voice, in a fun and engaging group atmosphere! This is a fun way to learn to sing with good technique while singing songs already loved by characters we adore!

Each week I will lead a vocal warm-up that will take about 10-15 minutes. The warm-up helps us prepare our voices to sing as well as practice specific techniques (breathing, head voice, chest voice, etc). Then we will dig into the week's specific technique/subject. We'll look at/listen to examples from that week's Disney movie, we'll do vocal exercises to practice the technique, and there will be comprehension questions sprinkled throughout to ensure the learners are grasping the concepts. After we understand our week's subject/technique we will practice singing specifically to the movie's songs.

Week 1- Contemporary Singing / Head voice Little Mermaid (Part of your world) & Beauty and the Beast (Tale as old as time)

Week 2 - Jazz Singing / Chest Voice Frog & the Princess (Almost There) & Jungle Book (Bare Necessities)

Week 3 - Fast paced Singing & Enunciation Rapunzel (When will my life begin) & Moana (You're Welcome)

Week 4 - Belting / Mixed Voice Frozen (Let it go) & Moana ( How far I'll go)

Finding your voice through Mindful Singing $60 per Student

Wednesday 22nd, 5:30 - 7:30 PM Or Saturday, February 25, 1 PM - 3 PM

Everyone is meant to sing. Some where along the way from childhood to adulthood, some of us have been told we are not good enough singers, by ourselves or by others. Its time to find your voice and find joy in singing once again.

We will discover our authentic voice by learning how to use our -Vocal tract resonators (throat, mouth & nasal), Vocal tract articulators ( tongue, soft palate & lips) & to use the different voicings ( chest ( lower/ upper), head and mask) in a mindful & joyful way to explore the art of singing.
