In the first session we will practice how to hear harmony notes, how to blend with your fellow singers, and how to best use your voice as an instrument. 2nd session/week 2 will focus on singing as a group, listening for the blend, and trying to achieve 3 part harmonies as we break into singing groups.

Get ready to turn on your ears and turn off your “I can’t do it” brain. Together we’ll make beautiful music.
