Choral Singing - Get Your Voice Back in Shape for Fall!
Choral Singing - Get Your Voice Back in Shape for Fall!
Are you interested in singing in a healthy way with more awareness and confidence? Are you worried about diving into the fall choral season having not sung much over the summer? Interested in tips for improving your sight-singing? If you’re a choral singer (or you're interested in being a choral singer!) and any of these questions resonate, join me in getting our voices back in shape and ready for this season!
Who this course is for:
Adult choral singers of any level. Aimed at choristers who use sheet music rather than learning by ear. Some note-reading experience is helpful, but if this is your first time getting ready to sing in a choir or auditioning, this can also be for you!
Materials needed:
Just yourself and a space you feel comfortable moving, singing, and making noise in.
Class Goals:
- Learn and master several basic vocal and body awareness warm-ups that can ease our voices in gently
- Tips for awareness while singing in a group that can help ease tension in your sound and create a freer sound including breathing, vowel color, and body exercises
- Practice looking at unfamiliar score and reacquaint yourself with the basics of sight-reading, including reminders of key signatures, time signatures, staff, clefs, and basic rhythms
- Learn tips for chorus auditions including preparing a song, range exercises, and sight-reading
- Build confidence in learning new choral music by listening and following along
- Refreshers on how to follow a conductor
- Practice singing and holding your own part through group exercises over zoom

Private Violin Lesson
I have been taking violin lessons twice a week with Katrina for exactly 3 months. Violin lessons with Katrina are a true joy, stress free, and have turned into the best part of my week - I really look forward to them. I had never even picked up a violin before, and after 3 months, I have a good handle on violin fundamentals and technique, including reading sheet music, playing beginner songs, good posture, handling the bow, caring for my instrument, practicing with a metronome, etc. The lessons have a lot of variety and are always fun. I was even able to compose my first little violin original tune and record it, which was a real thrill to me. Katrina is a great teacher with endless enthusiasm and knowledge. Her ear is really amazing too - she can tell right away when my violin is slightly out of tune - I am convinced her ear is more accurate than my tuner. She really knows her stuff! I will continue taking lessons with Katrina and look forward to continuing my learning journey with her. I highly recommend Katrina to any adult (or anyone) looking to begin their violin journey.

My lesson was wonderful. My teacher was upbeat and very helpful in the flow of the information she was teaching. Her energy is transferred into a very positive, encouraging and helpful atmosphere for learning. A+
