CALDWELL COLLEGE OPERA AND VOCAL TRAINING CAMP

This is the ideal camp for a young singer who has some solo experience and would like to learn more about their voice and the world of vocal performance in a supportive atmosphere. Students will receive both group and individual instruction in voice and diction and participate in classes in Yoga for singers, Alexander Technique, and preparing for an audition. They will participate in a master class and prepare staged scenes for the final performance.

High School pianists interested in accompanying are invited to audition for the camp. Coaching with Dr. Childress will focus on stylistic interpretation of the repertoire and the art of working and performing with a singer.

Qualified High School juniors and seniors may register to receive 1 college credit through Project Excel, for participating in the camp.
