A bit about this workshop:
Why is Soul so fun to sing?! Why is Gospel music so moving and transformative? Together we will dive in and explore some of the history, techniques and building blocks of these dynamic styles. Learn from the legacies of masters like Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. Come and experience the joy and richness of singing the sacred music of the African American tradition! We’ll create a mini-choir in which budding soloists can stretch out and soar! From spirituals to contemporary gospel music, together we will take a musical journey that is guaranteed to make you stomp your feet, clap your hands, and have a feel-good time!
