Welcome to the inaugural BC Vocalist Society Workshop! We are very excited for what this workshop will offer VI (and mainland!) vocalists. We've got an eclectic and dynamic program for many genres, jazz, blues, R&B, pop, country.....if you sing into a mic (or want to!), this workshop is for you.....details below:
A note from President Maria Manna:
Our Mission is to offer an environment in which students of diverse musical backgrounds and ages have the opportunity to explore their unique vocal talents by providing them vocal techniques that they are able to rely on when they are performing for any audience.
We want them to bring the best of themselves and their creativity to this workshop.
We will be able to focus on their strengths and better their weaknesses while instilling confidence in each student, by being supportive, yet, teaching them that there is always something which can be improved. If one believes in themselves, it will produce amazing results. And finally, we want them to have fun!
