The Art of Singing: Technique and Feeling
Taught by Carrie Wilson
This class is temporarily postponed, due to Covid-19.
This class studies singing as a making one of opposites—ease and intensity, high and low, continuity and discontinuity, freedom and accuracy—opposites that everyone, including the singer, is trying to put together in himself or herself. With that basis there are vocal exercises dealing with the fundamentals of singing—such as breath support, resonance, legato, and agility—and individual work on songs. The aim is a oneness of the finest technique and the fullest sincerity. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced singers are welcome.
Alternate Fridays, 6:00 – 7:30 PM
