creative vocal ensemble
Rehearsals:
Sunday evenings
Held each weekend of the Vocal Jazz Academies, Levels 1 & 2
Concerts:
Level One: Saturday night of the final weekend (schedule)
Level Two: Friday night of Weekend 4 and Saturday night of the final weekend (schedule)
Members of The Creative Vocal Ensemble are expected to come prepared to rehearsals.
Scores, mp3s and assignments will be available from the website. It is the students' responsibility to check the schedule for detailed information about assignments and to come to rehearsals prepared.
Final Weekend Concert: For both levels, there will be a final concert Saturday evening with rehearsals Friday afternoon and evening. The Friday afternoon session on the final weekend is an opportunity to review your parts with the support of a pianist. This accompanist is not going to play individual parts but rather allow singers the opportunity to HEAR their vocal line along with the other sections, in order to provide support so you can deliver your part with confidence in the evening session with Bob that follows.
Level 2 Special Concert: There will be a special concert on Friday of the 4th weekend (Friday March 4), with a rehearsal Thursday with a select group of singers.
Singers should rehearse on their own time before rehearsals. The mp3s available on the website can support this learning or you can learn yourself in any way you prefer.
