Dear A Cappella fans, Tired of feeling demoralized by your poor singing? Fret not! Because we've got a Contemporary Vocal Technique course coming right up just for you on the 18th of September! This course aims to provide singers with a good foundation in singing technique and then guide you on how you can use your voice for a variety of musical genres as opposed to just choir singing or operatic singing or just pop singing. Singers will go through the 8 sessions exploring first the foundations of good singing habits and following that, attempt to sing at least 4 songs of different musical genres. A follow up class that focuses on repertoire building or a specific genre will be available then after. At the end of the 8 sessions, there will be a short recital of songs by each student. Trainer: Angelina Choo Time: Tuesday 7 - 9pm Venue: 182 Cecil Street #02-07 TAPAC Max no of participants: 10 Cost: S$ 250 For more Details and Registration, do visit http://www.a-cappella.org.sg/course...
