"Karen is a superb instructor. I enjoy her sense of humor and gentle, non-judgemental manner." Workshop Participant
June 15 - 19, 2011
By special arrangement, Karen offers private voice lessons to participants in the Chanticleer in Sonoma Choral Workshop.
In this class, the basics of vocal technique are introduced with vocal warm-ups to help refresh and enliven the experience of the choral and ensemble singer. Topics can be tailored to the specific needs and repertory of the group, such as:
Diction: clarifying the articulators used in speech and song
Ensemble Techniques: Blend and Vowel Matching
Posture in Sitting and Standing
Karen has presented this workshop and coached numerous choral arts organizations, such as, Pacific Mozart Ensemble, Seattle Medieval Women's Choir, Mostly Motets, Sonoma Bach, the Camerata Choir of Grace Cathedral.
