Taught by Marla Volovna.

Our voice is the innate instrument that nature has bestowed upon us;
but, for the average person, the miraculous art of singing has been
largely lost over the millennia. Through the use of
practical exercises, you will become skilled in all of the main
techniques involved in creating beautiful vocal sound. Our
in-depth exploration of vocal technique will take us through the many
aspects of producing sustained quality sound, including breath
management, the use of the mouth, diaphragm, larynx, and other
supporting muscle groups, the laws of posture, performance techniques,
and others. Small and large group work will include breath
pulsation and muscle-flexibility exercises, the Alexander technique, the
Feldenkreis method, legato sustained exercises, and activities aimed at
training the body to behave as that of a singer. Both the
instructor and outside (video) demonstrations will be viewed, studied,
and analyzed from a technical standpoint, as students learn to emulate
the proper techniques. Classical singing will be used as our main
vehicle, but students will learn how to apply all the techniques learned
in class to the singing style(s) of their choice. Join us on this
exciting journey into the beauty and versatility of the human voice at
the height of self expression.
