MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP
In this 2 hour workshop, students have a fun time exploring the music of Broadway! Includes Leonard Bernstein’s “I Feel Like I’m Not Out of Bed Yet” to work on breath control, yawning, and warming up high and low notes. “Summer Lovin’ ” is an exercise that teaches the student to ask and answer questions in songs, to look for the deeper meaning in the lyric. In the last half of the class we will teach and choreograph, “Come Follow the Band” by Michael Stewart, and Cy Coleman. The class will perform the piece at the end. Our core philosophy is “less talking, more singing!”
