Music Theory 101
The Language of Music
Music Theory often gets a bad reputation as being hard to understand and even harder to apply. While this course has a solid foundation in the traditional academic concepts, Music Theory 101 focuses on developing a vocabulary for the emotions we feel through music, using current musical examples. We will work on understanding how rhythm, keys and chords fit together to create the “shape” and “vibe” of songs in all genres of music. This course is applicable for singers, songwriters, instrumental musicians and those heading to higher education in music.
Vocal Harmony Class
Learn to Sing Harmonies and Background Vocals
Ear Training for Vocalists
Hear. Know. Sing.
Join a small group of other vocalists and train your ear to identify relative pitch, intervals, and harmonies – which helps you be a better lead singer and harmony singer. Excellent class for beginners. Optional showcase performance.
Sing Like No One’s Watching
Becoming Friends with Stage Fright
Got nerves? In each class, you will learn a new technique for calming your body and getting into a good headspace, and then have the opportunity to sing to a track in front of the group. (Don’t worry, you’re not the only one who’s nervous!)
