Concord Conservatory of Music Introduces New Vocal Offerings

Love to sing? Then there is a place for you at Concord Conservatory of Music. In voice classes, students develop their singing skills and musicianship in a supportive and rewarding setting. Singing in a group builds a student’s poise and self-assurance.

CCM’s Beginner Vocals for ages 6 through 8 focuses on the development of your child’s voice as they sing age-appropriate songs from a musical theatre repertory. Singers will work on the basic elements of breathing, pitch, voice placement, range development, and tone (https://concordconservatory.org/Beginner_Vocals). In Young Vocals, students ages 9 through 13 learn how to improve their intonation and rhythm with fun exercises. This class will get students ready to perform an eclectic mix of music ranging from classical, to folk, to international styles. (https://concordconservatory.org/Young_Vocals).

New this fall is the Concord Conservatory Girls Chorus for ages 9 – 14. The Chorus will provide a comprehensive music education with vocal training and musicianship development. No experience is required – the only essentials are a love of singing and enthusiasm for music. Contact CCM today to schedule your child’s informal 5 – 10-minute audition. Free auditions include simple pitch-matching exercises, singing scales, and the familiar song, “Happy Birthday.” (Sign-up at https://forms.gle/CpS9tEqo5Kr5xtgK6)

Adults wanting to get more satisfaction out of participating in a chorus or choir will want to join the new Choral Skills for Adults (https://concordconservatory.org/Choral_Skills). It’s ideal for singers who want to increase their musicianship, range, and flexibility, and especially fine tune their ear-training and sight-singing capabilities.

Singing with Parkinson’s is a singing group for those living with Parkinson’s Disease and their families. It offers them the opportunity to participate in voice therapy while singing, performing, and experiencing the joy of making music. The group meets weekly on Wednesday at 10:30 am and will resume on September 11th. (https://concordconservatory.org/CCM_Singing_with_Parkinsons)
