a workshop for singers and conductors hosted by the Bucks County Choral Society

with Kimberly Steinhauer (Executive Director, Estill Voice International) and Robert Sussuma

at Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church,

1401 Meetinghouse Road

corner of Meetinghouse and Bristol Roads in Warminster, PA 18974

Beyond images, learn specific vocal techniques for the choral rehearsal using simple, unambiguous anatomical terms:

• Vocal “Figures” that work for training voice like compulsory figures do for skaters
• “Anchoring” for focusing the right amount of energy without constriction (a little air can go a long way!)
• Strategies for balancing different register qualities between vocal parts
• Vocal recipes for broadening your range of vocal color for different musical genres
• Healthy exercises for choral students who also sing musical theater, pop, opera or other musical styles

Conductors and singers will experience a wide range of healthful voice qualities and apply them to a variety of musical styles.

Participants are invited to sing with the workshop “lab” choir, the Bucks County Choral Society.

Fee: $50; $25 for students
