Have you ever wondered why you need to warm up your voice before singing, and even how to do it? This free monthly interactive vocal workshop will take students (K-12) through the science of vocal warm-ups, have you singing along with some of the best warmups, and help you develop a structured approach to warming up your voice on your own. Taught by voice teacher Billy Gollner, this workshop will feature a mix of traditional academic-style lectures, practical exploration (singing together)!
We want to empower our youth as public speakers and leaders in whatever field they choose. This will enable them to speak with confidence, with a strong and supported foundation, giving them the knowledge and power to use their voice as a tool for success in all aspects of their lives.
