VOCALTRAINING
Vocal training is the process of systematically improving your voice through exercises that focus on breath control, vocal technique, and physical alignment. It aims to enhance the quality, range, and stamina of your voice while preventing strain. This involves a combination of warm-ups, breathing exercises, and practice to develop skills like articulation, pitch accuracy, and tone production for singing, public speaking, or acting.

Music theory considers the fundamentals of music which includes melody, rhythm, pitch, notation, scales and key signatures, intervals, and so on. It is the systematic study of the principles and elements of music, such as rhythm, harmony, and melody, and how they interact to create compositions. It provides a framework for understanding, communicating, notating, and analyzing music, functioning as the "language" of music for both creating and performing.
This class is designed to improve your performance and composition skills, improved communication with other musicians, and a deeper appreciation for all types of music. It provides a framework for understanding how music is constructed, which accelerates learning, aids in improvisation, and fosters greater creativity.

EAR TRAINING
Ear Training is a key part of learning to play an instrument, sing, or produce music. It can help you develop a better musical ear and appreciate a wider variety of music. Ear training mainly focuses on the development of aural skills includes identifying sounds by ear and naming them, transcribing them, playing them back, singing them or, at more advanced levels, improvising upon them according to harmonic rules. This class will include drills to assist with the development of aural skills.
This class is designed to improve your musicianship by making it easier to play by ear, transcribe music, and improvise. It enhances skills like pitch recognition and intonation, which can speed up learning new songs and improve confidence.
