Class Title: Vocal Ensemble: Singing Technique & Harmony

Grades: 5-9

Course Description

Find Your Voice!
Ready to take your singing to the next level? Join us for an exciting journey into the world of vocal music! This class is designed to turn "singers" into "confident performers." You'll master the basics—like matching pitch and controlling dynamics—while discovering how your voice actually works through fun, targeted exercises.

Master the Art of Harmony
There’s nothing like the sound of voices blending together. You’ll join a section that fits your natural range and learn how to hold your own in a multi-part harmony. We make practicing easy by providing you with high-quality recordings of your specific part, so you can sing along at home and come to class ready to shine.

From Rehearsal to the Stage
We don't just sing in the classroom; we prepare you for real-world ministry and performance. You’ll learn the exact harmonies used in our weekend worship services, giving you the skills to lead and serve. Finally, you’ll show off your hard work at our Christmas and year-end performances. We’ll even coach you on "the look"—teaching you the posture and poise needed to own the stage with confidence!
