Music Central is pleased to announce that we will be offering an exciting new weekly program starting in January: Music Central’s Vocal Ensemble! Open to boys and girls ages 7-17, the goal of the program is to teach the fundamentals of group singing in a fun and friendly way. Participants will experience and learn many types of 2-3 part harmony, vocal techniques and a variety of styles including classical, pop, musical theatre and folksong. Students will also have multiple performance opportunities in the community throughout the school year. Overall, this is an excellent way to improve singers’ confidence and stage presence while improving their skills, working as part of a team, and making new friends.

The ensemble will be instructed by Sheila Paton, who has a Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts in Vocal Performance from the University of Lethbridge in 2008 and has 10 years experience teaching voice, piano and vocal performance. As a student Sheila has participated in a variety of choirs across the province, competing at local, provincial and international levels. Classes are expected to be held on Saturdays from noon to 1pm at $20 per week. REGISTRATIONS ONGOING. Music, folders, and course packs will be provided by Music Central.
