2023 SINGER'S WORKSHOP CAMP FOR GIRLS ENTERING GRADES 5-8 IN MILL VALLEY
The perfect summer choral program for older singers, the Singer’s Workshop is a week-long intensive day camp for the aspiring vocalist entering grades 5 - 8. No experience is necessary to participate in this differentiated singing camp that will provide aspiring vocalists a chance to expand your range, teach you new and more advanced vocal techniques and repertoire, improve your musicianship skills, and most importantly – you'll gain more confidence as a singer. Join MGC Artistic Director Cole Thomason-Redus for a week of fun and vocal training. Students will also be given ample opportunities to get outside and enjoy movement. The week will conclude with a performance at 2:00pm on Fridays.
What does a typical day of Singer's Workshop camp look like?
Each morning begins with a rigorous vocal and physical warm-up, designed to discover, and increase the potential and power of your voice. We then divide into smaller skill-based groups for intensive study of solfege, sight-reading, musicianship, and the performance of classical art songs. Afternoons are more relaxed as we dive into the non-classical genres of folk, musical theater, and jazz, while also exploring career options in music that fall outside of the spotlight and stage.
