Adult: Class Instruction

Music Theory instruction is available to adults from beginning to advanced levels in both small classes and individual instruction. Classes are designed to augment reading skills and clarify standard theoretical concepts through written work, ear training and sight-singing. Additional topics in analysis, counterpoint and twentieth century idioms are available. Students are grouped according to level of experience. Formation of classes is dependent upon student demand.

This unique, hands-on workshop is an opportunity for singers to strengthen their interpretive abilities in song. Using a theatrical approach and cabaret techniques, the course will enhance a singer’s ability to communicate the emotion and story of their chosen song. Although this is not a vocal technique class, diction and physical problems are often resolved through the process of interpretation. The class is open to singers at various levels of performance experience. Songs presented in the class can be in any language and selected from any genre (opera, folk, art song, rock, jazz, musical theatre, rap). Call the CMD offce for specific dates.
