This fun, ensemble-based class is designed for a variety of experience levels and will build the confidence and skill of young performers.We will focus on technique and "vocal coaching" which integrates singing and acting skills in the interpretation of the musical theater song. It explores the Broadway style of music using improvisation, acting, movement, and music. Vocal technique for musical theater singing includes technical exercises and application through the study of specific songs. Study will also include using show research and script/song analysis to develop characterization. Basic music theory will be reviewed as well. At the end of the term, students will apply their musical theater skills by performing song selections they have worked on in class.
