Description

Compelling performances are about more than just singing the right notes—they're about telling a story. In this class, students will explore the art of analyzing and interpreting a song to create emotionally connected performances. With guidance from Mrs Doyle, students will select a solo, duet, or trio and work through the process to understand the lyrics, character, dramatic context and explore the musical and emotional beats within the piece. Through guided coaching and peer feedback, students will refine their vocal delivery, strengthen their acting choices, and gain experience in singing while deeply connected with their lyrics. Selected pieces will be polished for a moving showcase performance, giving students the opportunity to elevate their storytelling on stage.
