Foundations of Singing for Kids!

Join us for a Foundations of Singing class for children aged 8-12! Students will learn concepts of articulation, register, range, and vowel shaping with some Kodaly and Dalcroze methods and apply that to repertoire. This class is perfect for budding young singers who might still be too young for private lessons. Group singing is a great way to jumpstart listening skills, which are imperative for a good singing foundation.

• Dates: TBD
• Time: TBD
• Cost: $200
• Ages: 8-12

Digital Groove Collective

Your laptop is the instrument! This is a listening-based musical training focusing on immediate musical production! There is an emphasis on composing, improvising, arranging, orchestration, and ensemble activity. Create digital music today. 

Mac laptops are highly recommended for the free softwares that are available on the Mac operating system: GarageBand, VMPK, Audacity, and VLC. Linux and PC computers can still be used up to a certain level. 

This is a fun group activity in which students make music together from the start. This is a great program for students interested in video game music, DJ music, and contemporary pop.  There will also be performance opportunities. 

Laptops are not provided, but all other equipment will be.

Fiddle Jams

Led by Shane Guse, join us for a monthly fiddle jam! This is a drop-in event. This is a fun and supportive group setting where you play when you can, listen when you can't, and make sure to take note of new tunes you hear and want to explore. This is open to players of all ages and levels. If you have never played fiddle before, this is a great opportunity to try it out. The goal is to have fun, build confidence and repertoire, and hopefully introduce fiddling to those who have never had the opportunity to try it. 

• Location: 190 Lester Street, Waterloo
• Dates: First Sunday of each month
• Time: Sundays from 7:15 - 8:15 p.m. 
• Cost: $5 donation encouraged for the instructor
