NextStage Classes for 2025

NSP Vocal Technique Bootcamp: Bring the Mature Voice to Peak Performance

This series of classes is designed to assist mature singers in bringing singing and speaking voices back to a more youthful clarity, flexibility and strength and applying that training to singing at performance level. Students will learn specific exercises for achieving each goal: breath support, rhythm/tempo flexibility, diction and articulation. 

The final two sessions we polish student chosen songs as we prepare for performance. 

Come enjoy the fun. Let your talent shine!
