Hello, Fellow singers and students of song!

I am very happy to say I'll be offering 4 classes at
Blue Bear School of Music for the Winter Quarter
starting 1/09/07!!

Classes on Tuesdays are: Musicianship Skills for
Singers at 7-8:00pm and Intermediate Voice from
8-9:30pm and on Thursdays: Singing For People who
Can't Sing from 7-8:00pm and Beginning Jazz Vocals
from 8:00-9:30pm. Note: there will be a showcase performance for Beginning Jazz Vocals which will include a performance with a well known and experienced accompanist. The Fall Quarter featured the singers with the wonderful Ken Muir!

For singing technique I will be teaching the Bel Canto
method which is based on a Classical singing technique but adapted
for Pop and Jazz vocals.

This method is tried and true and has produced wonderful singers for over 500 years!

For the musicianship and jazz vocals classes, I'll be
drawing on over 30 years of performance and extensive
education (including that most venerable of
institutions, the "School of Hard Knocks").

Please join me as we explore the many facets of vocal
expression that can be discovered within the
foundation of a well grounded vocal technique!
