This workshop class format is ideal for those who want to learn but are not able to make a weekly commitment, and those who have studied with Heidi in the past and want to continue working on their voice but less intensively. It can also provide additional performance practice for private students. Each session, we will focus on a different vocal technique to learn/practice/review, with extra time for individual songs and coaching. Sessions will cover topics such as posture, breathing and support, vowels, placement, range/registration. Bring a backing track or your instrument. Depending on the group, we may also experiment with harmonies and improvisation. Register for one session or every one!

Fee per class $35
