Advanced Singing Lessons Description
Students will be honing their skills of the 'Estil' vocal method which promotes healthy voice use, whilst exploring a range of sounds/vocal styles. They will learn how to make appropriate vocal choices and have a strong foundation of Tilt, Twang, Speech Quality and Belt. Advanced 'acting through song' techniques will the introduced at this stage including character observation, inner monologue and ‘actioning’.
The course will also include advanced work on posture and alignment, breathing and support, and appropriate use and control of voice qualities.
Students are introduced to more complex harmony singing, and often will be responsible for their own harmony line. More complex solo repertoire will be approached. Students will be expected to perform at least one solo and one duet at the showcase at the end of the course.
The musical repertoire will be chosen from the Musical Theatre canon as well as pop, jazz and classical works.
Advanced Singing Course Content (Example: 10 Week Course)
Weeks 1
- Recap of basic techniques via thorough learning of warm up exercises that will be used every week. The class will be divided into voice types (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass etc) and learning will begin on a song, with harmonies, which will go on to be part of the showcase at the end of the course. Students will be given ideas for solos/duets to start to look at for the following week. Students will be encouraged to approach repertoire from outside their normal comfort zone
Weeks 2
- Work will continue on the group song and other song ideas will be discussed; students will be paired up for duets. Harmony parts will be recorded onto Dictaphones so students can practise in the week
Weeks 3
- Students will work one to one on their choice of solo
Weeks 4
- Recap of first group song, second group song to be introduced - usually more complex than the first, with an emphasis on acting and 'being an individual within an ensemble'
