Vocal Performance

Paintin' It Purple (Aubergine), Ages 8+, Wednesdays 7:30pm to 8:30pm
Paintin' It Purple (Indigo), Ages 8+, Wednesdays 8:30pm to 9:30pm

What is the secret behind the world's most successful singers? Vocal Performance - the way they stand, move, use their hands, communicate text, express emotion - all of these factors and more contribute to successful and consistent vocal performance. Taught by Marion Abbott, this class will train young singers to 'paint it purple' by teaching them to consider text analysis, emotional layering, physicality and other important techniques. They will learn to constantly analyze and improve upon their own performances. A safe environment will ensure that every student will achieve their best in a master class setting; jazz standards, pop and musical theatre repertoire will be covered. Students enrolled must also be enrolled in private vocal lessons. Get ready to paint it purple, get ready to become a performance superstar!
*Aubergine and Indigo divisions will be decided by Marion based on performance experience and previous classes; age is not a factor in these divisions*
