Singing Classes
Singing classes continue on Monday nights in Berkeley. We focus on traditional songs and stylings, especially from Eastern Europe and the Balkans, including the countries Georgia, Albania, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Russia. We work on pronunciation, healthy voice production, intonation, tone quality, ornamentation, musicality, ensemble work, and improvisation using traditional scales.
The first evening is free, and after that it is $12 to $15 per class, sliding scale.
I also give private lessons. This can be tailored to the desires and goals of the individual, whether that means a focus on particular songs or styles, or on issues such as strength, range, intonation, and passaggio techniques. Whatever the focus, I am always interested in musicality and grace, and in helping a person find his or her own true, honest and unique singing voice, in both an acoustic and an expressive sense. I thoroughly enjoy working with people of all levels of singing experience. Fee negotiable.
