SONGWRITING, CHOIR, & VOCAL COACHING
Songwriting

Everyone has a story to tell, but we don’t always know how to tell it. Songwriting is a one-hour class to help teens learn to express themselves through the skill of songwriting! Anyone is welcome, and kids who play an instrument are highly encouraged to sign up! Class will include: writing exercises, team building skills, writing alone, in-class performances, giving & receiving feedback, etc. Ages 13+. Taught by Marc Rich.
Elementary Choir
THURSDAYS 7:00-7:45 BEGINS IN MARCH
$35 PER MONTH; MARCH & APRIL, PERFORMANCE IN EARLY MAY
Elementary Choir is a mini-course in choral singing, providing students with the choral knowledge to increase their musical skills. Students will practice proper singing techniques, learn to follow sheet music, and learn 2- and/or 3-part harmony. Students will perform as a group at a spring concert. This class is a mini-session that will be offered in the spring after the Matilda performance. Directed by Regina Smith
Choir & Sight Reading
MONDAYS 6:15-7:15
$35 PER MONTH
If you plan to audition for musical theatre in college, this is an invaluable class for you!
Choir/Music Theory is for individuals who will be at least 13 years old by Sept 1, 2024 (unless approved by director). The class will focus on harmonizing, blending, reading music, sight singing, and music theory. This class is primarily education-focused, but will perform one song at Eastgate’s Christmas celebration (Milk & Cookies night) and one song in our spring show. Directed by Regina Smith.
Voice Coaches - Highly Recommended
**Private Voice Lessons - Private vocal coaching is strongly recommended if your child is more serious about musical theatre. Please ALWAYS choose a classical teacher! (It would be better to get on someone’s waitlist and wait that out rather than taking from a teacher who is not classically trained!)
