Learn more about singing in a supportive, informative, and fun class!
VOICE CLASSES
Elizabeth Linnartz Studio between Durham and Chapel Hill offers class voice lessons again this summer for all singers, whether you need an introduction to singing or a refresher on good vocal technique. Past classes have included members of many Triangle community and church choirs, children, teenagers, total beginners, choral conductors, and musicians from other disciplines. Classes cover the basics of good voice technique: breathing, support, posture, resonance, and diction. The goal is a free and healthy singing voice. The class also is an opportunity to work individually with the teacher and accompanist in a supportive and fun atmosphere. Limit of 5 students per class. I may be able to move dates if most have a similar conflict.
SCHEDULE
The four ninety-minute classes run from 7:15 to 8:45 p.m. on summer evenings:
- Tuesdays, July 8, 15, 22, 29
- Wednesdays July 9, 16, 23, 30 If you have a group of 5-6 people who would like to reserve this class session, let me know soon!
- Thursdays July 10, 17, 24, 31
ABSENCES

REACTIONS TO SUMMER VOICE CLASSES:
Words can not describe enough of my appreciation for your teaching us. I learned a lot in those four sessions. Every session is so informative, so fun, and it was like in a blink of the eye that the lesson is over. Driving home was so joyous!
~ Agnes R
You created such a pleasant learning atmosphere and I looked forward to Tuesday nights each week. Although I was anxious at first, your warm welcome and cheerful kind spirit quickly made me more at ease. I loved each class and learned so much! Your help with my breathing and easing my vocal tension has been a huge blessing and has affected more than just my singing. I have already seen much progress in my singing as I apply my new skills and I am so excited by the freedom I now feel in my voice.
~ With joy, Rosemary B
I appreciated so much the depth of knowledge and experience you brought to the class and your willingness to share all of that with us, but I appreciated more the down-to-earth, personal way you interacted with each of us. While offering helpful suggestions at every turn, you also managed to be supportive and encouraging and respectful of our feelings and of our vulnerability in that situation. I also gained a huge amount of confidence from your validation of things I was already doing right, your positive reinforcement of corrections made, and from the generous positive feedback from you and my fellow students. Thanks for everything. I hope to put it all to good use!
