American Idol Vocalist To Run Master Class in Croton

From the Cortlandt School of Performing Arts

American Idol launched the career of a talented vocalist, Constantine Maroulis, known as that “handsome Rock ‘n’ Roll guy” of season 4.

Like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Katharine McPhee, he sustained that level of success, performing the American Idol Live Tour, with the Top 10 contestants, followed by solo concerts in venues such as House of Blues in Atlantic City and Starland Ballroom and then, on to Broadway!

He enjoyed several lead roles, Co-Starring in the Broadway Production of "The Wedding Singer" (2006), starring in "Rock of Ages” (2009), where he received a Tony nomination for “Best Performance for a Leading Actor in a Musical” and later, starring as the horror-icon in Jekyll and Hyde (2013). He continues with a successful recording career with 2 CD’s now available “Here I Come” and “She’s Just Rock N’ Roll."

Now Maroulis will be sharing his story and tips for young performers at a Master Class in Westchester. With a limited amount of openings, teens and college aged vocalists are signing up for the four hour class on Jan. 28, where he will cover auditioning, promotion, material and organizing repertoire, managing your career, and will discuss which training/educational choices are best for you.

The Cortlandt School of Performing Arts, in Croton on Hudson, opens this class to the public, having offered a similar class last year with Carole Demas, the original Sandy from Broadway’s Grease. This intimate setting will allow the singers to closely workshop with Mr. Maroulis and directly receive one-on-one pointers to help them with their development as a performer.
