Group Voice (Ages 13 and Up)
Group Voice is an excellent way to explore the fundamentals of singing, regardless of genre, in a friendly and supportive class environment. Principles covered include: posture, breathing, diction, vocal range and flexibility, reading music, song repertoire and performance. We will explore basic technique as a group with each singer being assigned one song to be learned and performed for the class. Group Voice provides a strong basis for improving your singing and moving forward into private voice lessons. Ability to match pitch is required. If you are not sure if you can match pitch, please arrange a brief meeting with the Portman's voice instructor to determine if you can.
