Village Voices
We will play with the voice as an instrument, teaching you how to own a swing feel, bossa nova, backbeat, bebop. We want you to find your solo sound within the group ensemble framework and vice versa. The ensemble is small because we want essentially one on a part and a chance for you to stand on your own two vocal chords.
