PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPS-Presented by Gina Masland.
The upcoming Performance Workshops are intended for people who love and want to sing! It's also geared for professional singers who want to gain more experience, not just in "hitting the notes" but in the art of performance in general. Topics to be covered include: vocal techniques, group and solo singing, interpretations and arrangements, supportive risk-taking, exploring diverse styles, microphone techniques, and working with an accompanist.
There are two different workshops, each with ten one-hour classes on Saturdays. There will be a Concert Showcase for participants who want to sing solo or in groups.
Workshop #1, "Songs about Spring!" will have ten sessions on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Saturdays from January 23rd through March 27th.
