Intro to Contemporary Singing 101 and 102
15-week group singing classes
Learn the foundations of contemporary singing, enjoy singing with others, gain confidence, and make new friends – PLUS, save money compared to private lessons! Singing classes are great for beginning to beginning-intermediate singers who want to learn a solid foundation for healthy singing of popular music at a great price.
Our 101 and 102 courses are each 15 weeks long. You can take one or the other, or take them in sequence. This fall, we are offering the 101 course only. We will offer the 102 course in early 2026.
Class sizes are very small. Contact us or grab your spot before classes fill up!

How is Intro to Contemporary Singing different from Pop Choir?
While our Pop Choir does include some warmups and some light instruction, its main focus is on learning to sing in Soprano, Alto, and Baritone harmony, concluding with a showcase performance.
In comparison, Intro to Singing goes much more in depth on a larger array of specific skills. The curriculum is designed to build healthy, solid vocal habits and develop new vocal skills. It also includes resources for practice between classes, so you can maximize growth and improvement. A final performance is optional (but encouraged!) and takes place during class time, in the classroom.
Fees
- $66/lesson for 60-min lessons (paid monthly, three week trial at same rate)
