SINGING FOR SHY SINGERS
Offered through OSHER, Continuing Education, University of Utah
Thursdays 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM, Sept 20 - Oct 4, 2018
SINGING FOR SHY SINGERS
This course is offered through OSHER, Continuing Education, University of Utah
Wednesdays 1:30 - 3:00 PM, March 27- April 10, 2018
Singing is our birthright: everyone can sing, given encouragement and opportunity. Do you like to sing in the shower, or in the car along with the radio, but are self-conscious (or even terrified) when singing with other people? Singing freely is a wonderfully liberating experience. It is good for the mind, body, and spirit. In this playful, light-hearted workshop, we will learn to listen and to tune our ears and sing together in harmony in a fun, supportive environment, using movement to connect body, breath and voice. No experience is required and everything will be taught by ear (no need to read music).
Location: Monson Center, 411 E. S Temple, SLC. Tuition: $49, Register through OSHER only
INTRO TO VOCAL FEMINIZATION MINI-WORKSHOP
Tuesday Night, August 6, 7:00-8:30 PM (90 minutes)
This is an opportunity for you to ask questions, to gain basic information about vocal transition and voice care, while learning some cool techniques and exercises for pitch range expansion and forward resonance. If you have worked with the Kathe Perez 30 Day Crash course online, you will be familiar with some of the exercises to raise fundamental frequency (higher pitch when speaking) and the importance of melody in the feminine voice. It's a great course and I recommend it - however, it is not required for the workshop on August 6th. Class size is limited. Email and confirm with Stacey to reserve a spot. Cost of workshop: $30 by check or cash
