Learn to understand your vocal instrument – and yourself
SINGER As a singer you are constantly exploring your voice – and your personality. At the Singers line you will learn how to develop your voice by doing technical exercises. And you will be aware of how important the interpretation of the lyrics is in terms of your final expression – as a skilled storyteller. Your voice is part of your body and by doing technical exercises we will be working with your grounding and presence. You and your voice will explore a line of undreamt possibilities while working in the singing classes. The classes will be led by experienced and skilled teachers who are very passionate about getting you, your voice and your personal development started. It is important that you learn to
understand your vocal instrument. Therefore, you will receive teaching in anatomy and different singing techniques to support your voice. You will also get familiar with the mixer and microphone technique, which will make you able to enter into any musical context. You will receive teaching in teams, and you will be working solo in front of your team as preparation for our tour. At the Singers line we highly appreciate collaborations with the other lines of the school. Collaborations give you a lot of opportunities; you can rock the stage either as the lead or backing singer in front of a great band. You can record your voice in collaboration with an Electronic Music student and create effects that give you a unique
and original sound. Or you can be singing in a theatre or a contemporary circus performance. The skilled audio engineer students are at your disposal, if you want to record a song in the schools own, professional studio. In return, the other lines will get to collaborate with a singer who is skilled enough to get the music flowing. We have a great collaboration with the national music academies as well as MGK, and we often have visits from students, bands and guest teachers from the professional environment. At the Singers line we work in a safe environment where we consider and work with every student on the basis of their specific level. So if you want to develop your singing skills, the Singers line is the place to be.
THE COURSE will include:
SINGING TECHNIQUE
Our main focus is ensuring the growth and development of both you and your voice. Therefore, we will be working intensively with physical exercises to strengthen the muscles you use when you sing. We will be working both in theory and practice with the connection between your body and your voice.
MUSIC THEORY
You have to know your theory. Therefore, we will focus on you getting better at understanding the basics of a music sheet, ear training, improvisation, arrangement, analysis, etc. Your teaching will match your level and your skills.
RECORDING AND LIVE PERFORMANCE
SONG, PLAY AND MOVEMENT
We also focus on teaching you how to express yourself and share your story through your song when performing live. You will have a lot of opportunities to perform live, especially when we go on tour at the end of the course. We will make sure that you are ready and prepared.
MUSIC CULTURE
The school has its own recording studio which is at your disposal 24/7. Here you can experience studio time as it will take place in the professional environment. You can work intensively on your material and your voice until everything is spot on.
Here you will train your rhythmical sense. We will play with imitation, sense of pulse and period, dance, drums and vocal/body percussion. In short, we will be working on coordinating your voice, hands, feet – and have a good laugh at the same time.
Once a week we will focus on musical subtopics. The history of the rhythmical music is getting more vast as we speak. We will arrange the concepts and give you an overview of musical development from jazz, soul and rock to new wave, punk and grunge by using stories, sound and movie clips
IN GENEREL
The teaching takes place in either our big and bright Mejerisal or our singing room. You will also be spending a lot of time in the rehearsal spaces of the music house and with the audio engineers in the studio. At the Singers line we will be working with every aspect of developing you as a well-rounded singer. We will cover everything from singing technique, voice theory, sound, intonation, rhythmic, vocal groups, a capella, microphone technique, interpretation, performance to improvisation. We will work with you on the basis of your specific level and try to develop your skills. We will try to give you a more profound understanding of your voice and its possibilities. At the end of the course, we will go on tour, where you will have the opportunity to really show of all the things you have learned. A stay at the Singers line will lift you from your current level, challenge you and your voice and give you room for growth.
