Featured Topic
Starting young people on a positive vocal path for a lifetime of joyful singing, as vocation or avocation, is one of the most important goals teachers can set in their work. Spokane Workshop presenters will share insights and practical “tricks of the trade” for working with pre-adolescents, changing voices, and young adults in wide-ranging song literature from pop to musical theater to classical.

- Children SING! Tools to help young children discover their low range; helping children sing pop style and even “belt” in a healthy way; appropriate pop and musical theatre repertory for the youngest singers; guiding classically/traditionally trained teachers to a healthy “belt” sound so that they can teach it to students of ALL ages.
