Emphasis will be placed on celebrating your voice and embracing your voice as it is NOW. You will learn about healthy breathing techniques and how to manage your breath to create beautiful sound. Singers in this group will also have the experience of singing in front of an audience in our end-of-term sing-along performance. ABOUT ST.
