Vocal Express Group Singing

Singing Sydney Vocal Express is the name of our five group singing courses that run over the course of ten weeks and are designed to surface all aspects that contribute to a singer’s journey. All classes in each term are structured to a single common music genre theme and this allow for students to select multiple courses and/or individual classes throughout the ten weeks that give them the most benefit and align with their goals. Classes are designed to work well standalone for drop-ins, however students will generally find more benefit in signing up to the full term.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Vocal Express classes all consist of fifteen minutes of vocal warm up exercises + games with other students in the group to get you ready to sing at your full potential. Each individual class will be focusing on specific singing techniques that all contribute to the 10 week course programme. You’ll get the chance to sing two songs per class- one that works as an exercise to train your voice with that changes each class, and another that will be consistently worked on throughout the term that will be ultimately performance ready for the showcase that happens at the end of each term. You’ll be amazed at how far you’ll have come in that time- challenge yourself and step up to the stage!
Class numbers can vary and do need to be capped so do book in early to secure your place!

Mondays – Vocal Express SHINE: STAGE CRAFT AND VOICE TECHNIQUES 

(Intermediate-Advanced Singers)
Teacher: Dean Nash
Level 1, Suite 8, 299 Kent St
6:30-7:30 pm

Takes your singing to the next level- our ten week performance class is for students who want guidance on stepping up on stage and delivering an A-grade show. Learn all aspects of stage craft- breathing and posture, wielding a mic like a pro, singing while moving, basic choreography and engaging with your audience, band and your song. Control your nerves and use that energy to bring out that performer within. Each week you’ll be given different scenarios to work on taking your performance to the next level, whether it be on stage, in a studio or on video. It is worth doing the Essentials course or having some prior singing experience before doing this course as it assumes an intermediate level of musical theory.

Tuesdays – Vocal Express ESSENTIALS: BEGINNER VOICE TECHNIQUES

(Absolute beginner singers)
Teacher: Hayley Milano
Level 1, Suite 8, Kent Street CBD
6:30-7:30 pm

This is our ten week course available to all levels of singers- no experience or pre- requisites necessary! Essentials gives students a broad overview of all elements that contribute to your singing journey- from basic techniques such as breathing and posture, projection of voice and pitch, to selecting songs that are right for you, basic performance skills and general self confidence to step up to the mic. Each week you’ll focus on a different aspect of singing and given opportunities to put what you’ve learned into practice. A great introduction to the world of singing for anyone who’s never sung before, or even a seasoned vocalist who just wants to focus on and/or brush up on specific areas of their repertoire. ( Note- Tuesday + Thursday classes will follow the same format and curriculum each week, however different teachers taking each course will mean a slightly different delivery format. )

Wednesday – Vocal Express AMPED: ADVANCED VOICE AND PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUE

(Intermediate to advanced singers)
Teacher: Dean Nash
Level 1, Suite 8, Kent Street CBD
6:30-7:30 pm

This is our ten week course designed for students who are looking to take the next step and want to seriously explore more in depth pathways into their singing. These intensive classes give students a chance to develop more complex techniques such as singing in their higher register, the nuances of singing with musical instruments, performing in a variety of different environments as well as just developing their existing skills further to promote a stronger sound even in pressure situations. Each week you’ll get the chance to practice all of your skills and techniques learned, working towards a song that showcases them all at the end of the term to perform at showcase. This programme gives students structured, honest critique on areas to improve and areas to practice outside of class- it can seem harsh at times but if you think you’re ready for it it’s the best way to improve and grow as a singer. Pre requisite- Essentials or have prior singing experience.
