GROUP PERFORMANCE CLASS

Performance Classes are where students take notes on singing/performance technique, where students analyze recordings of themselves and other artists singing; identifying both good and bad technique to gain a "MP3 Library" they will always be able to reference back to even after lessons), sing warm-ups (as a group with the class, sing songs (alone) in front of the class, learn microphone technique (live performance/recording studio), and learn how to recover when things go wrong in performance without letting the audience know! Students also write a song together (as a group) and learn to copyright their original songs. A selected group of students also prepare for a performance in NJ and/or in NYC once a year. Performance classes (PCs) are designed to help increase technique, confidence, knowledge, reduce stage fright, and re-enforce what is taught and practiced in the private voice lesson. Meets 2 - 3 hours; 2-4 times a month depending on month.

GROUP ACTING CLASS

The on going general Acting Classes are where students take notes on acting/performance technique, identify both good and bad technique, do mind and body warm-ups (as a group with the class), act out monologues (alone) in front of the class, go over scenes (with at least one other student), learn how to project, and learn how to recover when things go wrong in performance without letting the audience know! Students also have the option of writing a short one act play together (as a group) and learn to copyright their original works. A selected group of students also prepare for a performance in NJ and/or in NYC once a year. Meets 2 - 3 hours; 2-4 times a month depending on month.

Note: All Performance or Group Acting classes are ongoing with a 6 month (consecutive) min. commitment*. Each student enrolled in the Performance or Group Acting Class comes once a week to private/semi private voice or acting lessons and 2-4 times a month to performance classes. Lessons should be every week but can be changed to every other week if schedule/finances change. The Performance Classes enhance the private lesson and student improves faster. Not every student is involved in the PC. Students are only asked to join the Performance class if they show commitment and professionalism. PC's are mostly scheduled on Saturdays afternoons but sometimes can be changed to Friday nights/Sunday afternoons. Rachel is all about communication.

* 6 month (consecutive) min. commitment is needed to ensure the student is serious about their craft and ensure that the working relationship between student and teacher is fully established. A student evaluation is given every 6 months.
