The Singer’s Workshop is a Saturday morning vocal workshop that meets five times a year inviting present, past, and prospective voice students - and those who just want to learn!

As the title indicates, this class is a hands-on in-person opportunity for...

Experimentation: Students are able to try out all they have been learning in their lessons in a non-threatening atmosphere of exploration and support.

Encouragement: As students are surrounded by others who are also learning and striving to master their own vocal challenges, the workshop is an atmosphere where students feel uplifted and motivated to keep practicing and growing in their singing and performing skills.

Enrichment: Each month, before students sing for one another, one of the Vocal Arts Institute’s valued instructors (or a guest professional in the field), present a discussion on a subject critical to the development of successful and impactful singers.

Engaging a host of subjects ranging from auditioning - to movement - to acting and gesture - to singing in a variety of styles - or to the secrets of getting that lead role, the workshop experience gives singers the cutting edge expertise and confidence to continue blossoming toward their greatest potential.

Choral Upbeat is a continuing education workshop for directors and singers who want to achieve the most musical and ensemble-enhancing results in every rehearsal and performance. Through a close examination of vocal pedagogy practices, workshops will provide the methods and strategies directors can use in building a healthy vocalism and maturing musicianship in their ensembles. These sessions are a unique opportunity for choral directors and singers to come away and be renewed and challenged with fresh concepts that apply to choirs of all ages and styles.
