Singers and Parents/Guardians! Join us for a vital singer's map to navigate choices and decisions in performing from the hobbyist singer to the singer preparing for a career in performance. Important topics for discussion will include: Are continued vocal lessons necessary and for how long? What is the difference between a vocal instructor and a vocal coach? How much time do I need to prepare for auditions? What auditions do I choose to take? What repertoire should I be preparing? How do I know that I'm ready for bigger performing roles? What other classes should I be involved in that benefit my performing practice? How do I gain the performing resources necessary to expand on my craft as a singer/ performer? What are the expenses involved to become a professional singer? What are some traditional and non-traditional routes in singing performance?

Change your shoes!
Wondering what your children are learning in their vocal classes? Have your kids decided at times not to talk to you about their voice class because you don't know what they're talking about? Do you wish you had a little bit more knowledge about singing and the process? Are there other questions about singing that you haven't thought to ask until now? Join us in this mini series and get into your children's shoes! Have a blast learning the basics of vocal technique and music vocabulary to have a better understanding and greater knowledge of music and singing. Each class will incorporate vocal exercises, some singing, and question and answer sessions. You will have a greater understanding of what they're learning, and how their progress is coming along! It's sure to have you more knowledgeable and make your ongoing conversations about their voice lessons much more exciting for you both!
