This 7-week Song Performance Workshop is a “master class” environment, offering singers of all levels the opportunity to learn through observation as well as individual coaching on short solo pieces. Veteran teacher Vanessa Parvin gently and enthusiastically works to draw out each performer’s individual personality and passion, with questions and suggestions designed to guide singers toward an authentic, unique, and captivating performance.
