Class Description
All Levels Vocal Technique: An aspiring singer at any level, must challenge themselves to develop certain skills for vocalizing and nurturing his or her own voice on a regular basis and independently without the presence of a teacher or coach. This class lends insight into, and provides routine for a healthy, intelligent approach to practice and development of the vocal instrument.

Students acquire knowledge about methods of self-practice and when practicing, are encouraged to consider if the voice works freely, naturally, relaxed, or do they experience vocal strain and fatigue? Also, is there a present sense of joy and confidence or do feelings of fear, intimidation, or inconsistency limit my musical expression?

Healthy, correct singing technique will always come from a natural relaxation of the vocal musculature. As in dance, a degree of control and understanding about our bodies will lead to freedom of movement and interpretation from the voice.

Confidence in singing comes from experienced successes in practice and performance. If students can learn to practice successfully and productively on their own, they can develop self-esteem in singing and move forward to further interpretation of the music. This class focuses on providing students with methods and exercises that will allow them to progress as healthy, intelligent vocalists.

All Levels Vocal Performance: Class is designed to offer a public performance setting for singers. Singing publicly, within the constructive studio environment, each singer is challenged to evaluate and encourage their personal level of talent and professionalism. Corrado provides positive and professional coaching in musicality, communication, song interpretation and overall performance skills. This class is open to all styles of music including pop, theatre, lyrical, and classical. Singers and songwriters preparing to perform, record, audition, and display their compositions are strongly encouraged to participate. (Please bring sheet music or a CD of any style.)
