Exploring songs like “Summertime,” “It Might As Well Be Spring,” “Key Largo,” “Tenderly,” and “Come Rain or Come Shine,” you will learn how to manipulate tone and vowel formation for color, build your range, explore melodic improvisation, and work on straight tone/vibrato. At the end of the 6 weeks, you will perform with an instrumental trio.
