Class notes

• At MSI, we believe great singers should also be great musicians! This class is an opportunity for teens to work on vocal, performance, and microphone technique, as well as overall musicianship. Students will learn elements of music reading, solfege (sight reading), tone control, and harmonic singing. Small ensembles are ideal for developing these skills, because they are small enough for the singer to receive individualized feedback (as opposed to a choral setting), and large enough that they work with other singers in order to learn blend, balance, and ear training (which is difficult to work on with individual private lessons). Students will also have opportunities to sing solos and receive feedback to increase their skills as soloists.
