Welcome, Guest Instructor Stephanie Smith
(Song Studio, Friday, October 11, 7:30 - 9:30pm)

Stephanie Smith aka "Miss Smith" is a pianist, performance coach, and dynamic musician with years of experience under her belt. Whether performing at the piano with countless singers, coaching budding performers, or helping people free their creative blocks, she approaches her work with focus and compassion.

In her own words:

"I want to teach people the way I wasn't taught. There were nuggets of wisdom from each of my teachers but the competitions and public performances caused me to become disconnected from my passions. Performing became a chore and practicing, impossible. As I have moved through various phases in my craft, I have noticed a common issue: Performance anxiety. I seek to undo damaging performance experiences."

Calling all Portland performers! The world needs your unique voice and story! Are you a Portland musical theater performer (or an actor who sings) looking to build your solo performance skills, workshop an idea for a "cabaret" piece or simply seeking an opportunity to work on new material outside of your usual audition repertoire? Join local cabaret dynamos Courtney Freed and Darcy White as they embark on a six week journey to help you develop your specific and unique voice in a professional, supportive and fun environment. During these 3 hour sessions you will:

+ Workshop material you have ALWAYS wanted to visit, but never have had the opportunity or resources to.

+ Learn the "ins and outs" of marketing your own project(s) to appeal to a variety of audiences.

+ Receive constructive and healthy feedback about your material, delivery and your specific performance strengths and opportunities.

+ Develop your ideas into a short, "mini cabaret" to be showcased at the end of the class series for an audience of supportive friends and family.

Class will meet for 6 Mondays at Resound NW, beginning November 11th, 2019 from 7-10pm, culminating in an invited showcase on December 16th, 2019.

Sign up here.

SoulSinging
Experience the power of singing together!

What is SoulSinging?

SoulSinging is an innovative group singing journey that is equal parts choir, singing class, and supportive community. While exploring exciting and diverse musical styles, this group empowers participants to be holistic, mindful singing artists. Focusing on the skills and attention required to create dynamic ensemble performances, participants will learn the potency of singing together.

SoulSinging includes the following:

*Weekly classes with engaging group and solo singing and occasional public performances

*Diverse musical styles rich in harmony, rhythm, and inspiring lyrics, such as folk music from around the world, classical choral music, contemporary pop, musical theater, jazz, and group improvisation

*Opportunities to hone your skills both as an ensemble singer and as a solo artist

*A supportive and safe cohort of people with whom to learn and take new risks

*Extensive individual and group coaching from the Resound NW staff to work on your musical skills. The Resound NW staff has years and years of experience teaching voice and performing professionally. We have taught hundreds and hundreds of people from all walks of life to sing.

*Observe the measurable progress happening with your voice and the voices of the other students in your group

Ultimately, we will learn that we are not alone. We will learn that there is endless possibility with our singing. And we will unlock the full potential to express ourselves through our voices.

We look forward to taking this journey together!

"I think SoulSinging is superb and Daniel is a complete delight as a teacher. I’m happy to report that this class was even better than I had hoped it would be. The instructor, Daniel, made me feel very welcome from the minute I walked in the door and the sense of community was very apparent as everyone seemed genuinely glad to have me there. I loved the warm up and the round of singing games that were played at the beginning of class. Everyone participated and it was a blast. Daniel has a talent for picking the correct song for your voice so you actually feel comfortable. The entire group is extra warm and supportive so that anyone will feel successful."
- Nancy S.
