Intro to the Voice Instrument

 The ability to fully understand and control one's voice and it's properties is an essential skill necessary for any individual wishing to pursue competency as a vocalist, stage actor and/or public orator (such as preacher, teacher, politician, ect.) of any effectiveness.

Therefore, this class will focus on: 1) exercises controlling the body's involuntary breathing process and 2) projection (the ability to fill a room with the sound of one's voice), 3) the development of aural skills (the ability to hear specific tones and reproduce the tones heard with one's voice) with the introduction and 4) use of musical scales.

 Finally, students will be introduced to and learn to sing songs of positive inspiration, motivation, enhancement of self-esteem and love that may or may not be accessible via mainstream media.
