Vocal Masterclass
Facilitator: Tim Stiff
Date: Saturday, May 6
Time: 11am-1pm
Location: TBA
Registration: Yes, see form below
Workshop Description
Bring what it is you sing! Whatever your repertoire or interest, Tim can coach you and make suggestions for improvement not only for that particular piece, but for anything you sing and how you sing it. This is a vocal master class, so a few people will learn by singing and being coached, and others will learn simply be attending and observing. Singers can learn as much by watching the process and listening to the advice as they can by volunteering to sing.
Requirements/What to bring:
Singers should prepare two pieces, but expect to sing one. If they have sheet music of the accompaniment, please bring it. If they have the back tracks on their phone, we will provide a sound system to plug into. Wear something that makes you feel like a million dollars and shows the world that you care about your music!
