Performance Opportunities
Student recitals
Each February and June, In Good Voice School of Singing presents a vocal recital. These recitals are open to anyone who is interested in the challenge of performing in front of an audience, from beginner to the advanced singer. Each performer sings two to three songs with an accompanist (no recorded accompaniments allowed), and is required to attend two musicales and a dress rehearsal in preparation of the performance.
Performance Fee: The recital cost is split among the participants.
Musicales
Approximately once a month, In Good Voice School of Singing offers students an opportunity to practice their performing skills at one of the informal solo performance sessions called musicales. An accompanist is provided. Songs and arias need not be at performance level, so the musicales are a chance to test students' limits in a safe, supportive environment. No guests are permitted to attend, and everyone who shows up has to sing something (students are to bring their own piano/vocal arrangement).
Musicale Fee:
- $11.00 for In Good Voice Students
- $15.00 for non-students
