Sight Reading Eurhythmics for Singers

Meets Thursdays, 6:30—7:30 p.m. $395/semester
Singing for Everyone
Make music with others while you develop your vocal skills in a fun and supportive setting. All kinds of songs are welcome and all levels. Expand your range and stamina, breathe more deeply and efficiently, and develop creative ways to practice and improve your musicianship! Warm-up with the group, sing together and develop your owns style with solos of your own choosing. No prerequisites, but be prepared to work, play, and improve your singing!
