The voice class is a set curriculum, as opposed to private lessons which are open to change from week-to-week. The class teaches some very basic theory, then puts it into practice. Whereas a usual private lesson is 50 minutes, the 90 minute class allows the various participants all to have some time to try the concepts, before we go to the piano to try some simple songs. Songs are chosen from my own collection, to match the particular vocal objective of the day.
