Sing Your Story
A Summer Workshop for Teens
The world needs your unique voice and story!
Teens ages 14-19 can take advantage of this rare opportunity to craft a narrative around their own "one of a kind" life stories and experiences and pair them with appropriate music choices for a "cabaret style" performance.
Working in a small group with Resound NW educator and performer Courtney Freed and a pianist, participants will develop a particularly dynamic solo performance piece in a professional, supportive, and fun environment.
You will:
No prior singing experience necessary.
The 4 day class will culminate in a final showcase during the end of the last session where students will have an opportunity to share their progress with friends and family!
