Please come with one piece you’d like to work on. It can be from the classical genre (aria, oratorio, art song) or musical theatre. If you’d like to bring a pop or rock song, for a musical theatre audition, that’s a great idea, too!

You might get more out of class if you’re memorized. But if you’re not, don’t let that be the thing that stops you from diving into the performance of your song. Bring what will be most useful to you!

Of course! At 4:25 we’ll open up the doors for friends and family to come and see what we’ve been working on. Each participant will perform their solo song and you’ll also hear the song we learned during class.
The whole thing will be recorded and you’ll get the whole thing with basic edits so you can sit back and enjoy the performance without worrying about documenting it.
