VOCAL CLASS
Singing is a natural form of expression. Learning to express emotions is different for everyone, and group singing is a great possibility for both shy and outgoing children. Choose the songs you'd like to learn, and we'll help you to find your own voice. Our teachers use vocal exercises to project one's voice, and widen your vocal ranges when going from low to high notes. During the course we're focusing on developing your voices while singing in harmony. Harmony gives great options to make music learning more challenging, but more fun too!
