Advanced Voices – Group Voice Lessons
AV is VOCE’s premier group. This class is made up of singers from 5th – 12th grade. Singers are provided with Voice lesson style classes each week in an ensemble setting. Our focus is on healthy vocal techniques for solo and ensemble singing. These students are provided with the opportunity to expand their range and abilities as vocalists in all genres of music, with the comfort and safety of a group of voices, as well as the opportunity to observe and participate in individualized vocal instruction during class. This group is frequently contacted to perform solos and ensemble pieces throughout the community, and members are offered the opportunity to travel on educational and performance tours throughout the United States and abroad.
Classes include
- Vocal warm ups designed to strengthen the solo voice and balance/blending techniques for ensemble singing
- Instruction on breath support
- Basic understanding of Vocal Science and how your voice works as you grow
- Training in all genres of music including Musical Theatre
- Fundamentals for All-State Audition preparation
- Access to the program Sight Reading factory and regular practice at sight reading
- Singers will be moved to all voice parts rather than being “parked” in a section. This provides them the opportunity to stretch and expand their vocal range.
- Access to private vocal coaching for audition preparation
