Voice Department
Voice Class for 10 -12 Year Olds
Furong Gardner
For the student with a love for singing, this preparatory voice class provides instruction in a small group setting, allowing for more individual attention, without the demands or expense of a one-on-one private lesson. The 15 week class lays the base for students planning to take private lessons in the future, and serves to help students perform better in school and church chorus. The curriculum covers singing technique, ear-training, sight singing, and repertoire. Limited to six students per class.
