Collegiate-Style A Cappella Class

For High-School Students

Instructor:  Nick Bombicino
Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:30 pm,  March 21 – May 16
Fee:  8-weeks $130

In this class, students will learn first hand through the practice of repertoire.  The class will consist of rehearsal time structured like that of a college group, with the possible goal of putting on a performance or demonstration of the work produced over the course of the class.  Like a college group, some repertoire will be selected by students in the class, solos will be both auditioned and selected, and the students will work together to program their concert.  By being part of these various processes, students will leave the class better equipped for the post-high school a cappella world.  There will also be workshop aspects to the class and some lecture components relying on media of various kinds to illustrate the elements and aspects of the collegiate style.
