Monday: Voice: Singing Broadway [Ages 8-12]

Become more confident as a singer for an audience as you learn about the proper ways to get the best vocal sound and how to act while doing so. You will prepare and perform about 4-6 songs (individually and in groups) from a variety of musicals. We will also practice techniques to help calm the nerves and prepare ourselves for performing. On the last day of the session, we will invite friends and families to a performance of the songs and scenes! *This class is a part of our Certificate in Fine Arts Program and will give each student one point towards their CiFA certification. Hybrid option available upon request. Please reach out to Kirsten Sanford, Education Manager for more information kirsten@westwindsorarts.org.
