Musical Fairytale
Working together we will combine stories and music in a new way. We will sing songs that tell a story, find stories that need a song, write our own songs, and learn how to create a musical "soundscape" for the characters, action and events of a story, a poem, or a scene from a play. Learn to express yourself through music while building a foundation in storytelling.
Tuesdays 11am-12pm 2/21 - 4/24 • $220
Grades K-3
Focus - On the essentials of storytelling - combining disciplines (drama and movement) (drama and music) - as well as techniques of improvisation and story sequencing (beginning-middle-end). Classes would stimulate increased focus and concentration, learning to listen and work in a group as well as expressing mood through vocal and physical exploration.

Wooah! And oops!
This class will explore different ways for the voice to tell a story. By using emotion cards and vocal technique cards the voice will start to learn its full potential. Should the voice sound joyous or sinister? Should the voice sing loud or should it sing smoothly? Should certain moments be spoken instead of sung? These are all questions this class will ask of its students while keeping core singing values in mind, such as breath support, pitch, and articulation. For those who have taken In My Musical Voice or have other vocal training and want more!
Tuesdays 5-6pm 2/21 - 4/24 • $240
