Vocal Methods is a class designed to improve student's pitch matching abilities, ability to work within a group, and development of general understanding of music reading and performance. Vocal methods class is held during the Spring semester. A year-long, after-school choral group meets on Wednesday. The focus of this group is to learn pitch matching, phrasing, blending, enunciation, etc.
Week of 1/5/26-1/9/26
Happy New Year! I am looking forward to teaching this class to sing as a group. Singing as a chorus uses some techniques that are different than solo singing. If you are a talented soloist, you will find a place to shine in this class, but you will also learn some new techniques to help you blend into a group. Those who don't like to sing solos, never fear, this class is perfect for you!
We will begin the week going over class expectations. We will see segments of a video about taking care of our voices and learning the parts of the larynx.
We will experience different types of warm-ups and what warm-ups are and why we do them.
We will work on some music that will help us develop certain vocal skills.
I am looking forward to having you in class!
