Join WSA Music Director Abby Blount for a performance-focused vocal masterclass all about the art of singing together! Students will learn five iconic Broadway ensemble numbers while building the skills needed to confidently sing and hold their own part in three-part harmony.
Along the way, singers will work on vocal technique, blending, listening across the ensemble, musicality, confidence, and creating that big, layered Broadway sound that makes ensemble numbers so exciting.
