Info tab content
This course allows students, working at their own experience level, to analyze, rehearse and perform songs from the canon of dramatic musical theater. Using anything from lyrical arias to power ballads, we will approach lyrics and accompanying music as keys to creating character. We will investigate the "want" that drives a song. An accompanist will be in class for warm-ups, rehearsal and presentations. Students will find songs that suit their voices and challenges that they are looking for. Students will explore and present research on the voice, and will perform in a final celebratory showing. No singing experience necessary.
