Performance Classes for Singers in San Francisco (San Francisco Session with Sing Out Loud Classes)

Our classes give each singer the opportunity to work on several songs in a master class setting, addressing interpretation of lyrics, stage presence, mic technique, verbal introduction to the song, working with instrumentalists, and “selling” the song in performance. The classes are designed for you to do continuing work on your material and presentation. If you’ve ever wanted to do your own “cabaret” or one-man/woman show, stretch your skills, or just sing for your own pleasure, this might be the time! San Francisco Classes begin on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 and continue for an additional 7 sessions (mostly Tuesdays - see below for dates) The classes will be held at Fort Mason, Building C, Room 260 which boasts ample parking (both free street parking in the neighborhood or paid parking at the site - 1st hr free; $1 per hr. after, local transportation (check Muni schedule at www.511.org) and great views of the Bay! CLASS DATES: Tuesdays: 9/22, 9/29/ 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 11/3, 11/1. The last session will be either Monday 11/16 or Wednesday 11/18 (we will decide this at the first session). TIME: 6:30-10:00 pm. Each 3 and 1/2 hour class includes individual instruction for each singer in a master class setting in which all learn by observing each other work with the coaches. There will also be group singing and direct instruction on the history of popular song. A resource packet is provided to all participants. LEVEL: For singers of all levels, from the emerging singer to the intermediate singer to the advanced singer looking to hone his/her craft or learn new skills. FEE: $375 (incl $20 non-refundable registration fee.) Payment plans and credit card payment are available. The final concert, Saturday, November 21, 7:00pm, is being held at the Fairmont Hotel's Cirque Room. Tickets: $10 + $10 drink minimum. The Cirque Room was the first bar to open in San Francisco following prohibition. Before the Venetian Room was opened, the Cirque was the place to go for entertainment in the City. And with our concert, we are bringing live music back to this historic room.
