Class Schedule       Course Descriptions

academy homework
vocal ensemble homework

Singers enrolled in the certification program participate both in the jazz academy and the creative vocal ensemble/ jazz choir.
Singers may sign up for only the vocal ensemble, but this is not part of the certification program.
For each of the Sunday creative vocal ensemble rehearsals, we are offering a special vocal technique workshop PLUS repertoire review session with the leadership of Stefania Patanè. Singers not enrolled in the certificate program should arrive at 5:00 on Sunday ready to sing. Stefania will work with the singers to develop vocal technique and musical security. Bob will join the ensemble at 6:15 with the certificate program singers and rehearsal will continue under Bob's direction until 9:30. A great night of singing!
