vocal jazz academy level 2

Class Schedule      Course Descriptions    Certification

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 creative 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!! 

For Level 2 Singers:
Academy Homework
Vocal Ensemble Homework

 
Concert Info
There will be a final concert in April for Level Two 
Please be sure to read the schedule carefully and stay available on the last weekend for dress rehearsals and tech in times for the final concert.
The Creative Vocal Ensemble will be featured at the concert.
