Sing, sing, sing!  Improve your vocal technique, sharpen your sight reading skills and explore choral singing in a wide variety of ensembles in this music choir camp and workshop for choral singers going into grades 8 – 12. Led by choral director and professor Stephen Hodge, the workshop concludes with a choral concert featuring the pieces explored during the week.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Participants in this workshop will spend their time singing in a variety of choral settings (large mixed-voice, small ensembles, etc.) as well as taking classes in group voice, music theory and sight-reading. Students entering grades 11 and 12 and planning to pursue voice training in college will have the opportunity to take private voice lessons as well.  There will also be daily recital/showcases that include special topic presentations on such things as vocal technique and stage movement.  The workshop will culminate in a choral concert featuring both the combined voices of all participants and a showcase of 3-5 solo performers, to be chosen by audition during the week.

This workshop is intended for students grades 8 - 12 with some experience in choral singing.
