Broadway Singing

Our Broadway Singing Programme is structured for one year to start you off, although the craft of singing actually requires at least 3 years of training for a decent standard of performance. For the first 16 – 20 hours (4 -5 months), the focus is on the most basic aspect of the singing skill – tone production.

The rationale for this is that correct tone production enables the singer to:

• Give his/her voice the best vocal beauty possible
• Negotiate vocal registers
• Negotiate a wider vocal range
• Maintain vocal health
• Make more interpretative choices due to better skills

During this initial period, course content will include anatomy and science of breathing for singing and using your vocal apparatus, breathing technique, tone production and vocal placement, vocal range and registers, as well as placement of your speaking voice for better vocal health.

After the first 16 – 20 hours (hours vary according to the singer’s abilities), work will progress with songs to develop interpretation skills and song delivery such as phrasing, correct song and style choices, presentation skills. Students work through a number of songs to build a repertoire of music they can sing for performances and auditions. Music theory will also be taught as part of the course as music literacy is an essential part of music making.
