Musical Theater Vocal Workshop Course Overview

Students develop healthy vocal technique and foundational musical theater skills through vocal warm-ups, ear-training games, ensemble singing, and creative performance activities. Age- appropriate exercises encourage confident singing, expressive storytelling, and collaboration while fostering a love of musical theater.
