    Although this class may offer the opportunity to perform solos or in small groups, the focus of the class is to work within a supportive large group setting. We will begin to prepare songs for performances at the end of the spring session in June. Unlike most choirs, instead of using sheet music, we will use lyric sheets and audio tracks to learn and practice the songs. A great voice and/or previous singing experience is not required - only a desire to sing and a willingness to have fun with others!

    Please note: People who have only sang using sheet music and/or people with perfect or relative pitch may find the class challenging.
