SMALL GROUP VOCAL DISCOVERY CLASSES

HYBRID: ON ZOOM -or- IN-PERSON
4/5 Week Sign-up Series

The same 4/5 Group Series, taught by Fides, with some zoom spots and some in-person spots.

Choose either an in-person or a Zoom slot for this class. Zoom is only for those who live out of the city or have an underlying medical condition which means they should not be around others doing breath work. (We are not able to accommodate in-person students jumping on zoom for scheduling conflicts).

GET TO KNOW YOUR VOICE AND HOW TO COLLABORATE WITH IT!

In small groups I take you into the nitty gritty of Emotionally Integrated Voice to work with the body’s capacity for freedom, connection, catharsis and economy. Through singing long tones we undo the prejudices we each hold around voice. We support one another’s discoveries and celebrate the authentic feel and sound of each person’s vocal instrument as range, texture and ease flourish. These “ahas” become reliable technique through the conscious, healthy repetition practiced in Slipper Camp. (Taking Slipper Camp in the same term as a Group Series will deepen and accelerate your learning- and we offer the discount below to support that.)

"4/5 Series" means you are signing up for a series with 5 consecutive weeks of class (same day, same time each week) but only paying for 4, to allow you the flexibility of one missed class for illness and other curveballs. You can skip any 1 class in the series, no need to let us know in advance. If you wish to attend all 5, simply pay for the final class via e-transfer to fidesbooking@gmail.com on the day of. It's $79.19 ($67.80 artsworker).

There is no switching between series, you take Group class with the same cohort of students every week. You can't purchase individual one-off Group Classes this term. A foundational is necessary to join small group classes.

Class Capacity: 5 students

In the event that a Group Class is small (2-3 people), the classes in the Group will be shorter than 2h. You will still receive the same amount of one-on-one personal attention and warm-in.

Updated COVID Policies (for in-person option):

COVID is still very much a reality for singers and live performers, who might lose weeks of income from a single infection. This includes Fides!

· If you have been on an airplane, please wait 5 days before attending an in-person class at the studio

· Do not attend in-person classes if you have any COVID symptoms. Please use your your "free missed class" built into your Group series for this.

· If Fides gets a mild respiratory illness, she may move 1 class in your Group series fully to zoom. If you are unable to accommodate zoom, we will offer a refund/credit.

Masking Policy: You are welcome to mask at your own discretion. Fides has a high quality, quiet air purifier in her studio. COVID Policy:

In the event that a Group Class is small (2-3 people), the classes in the Group will be shorter than 2h. You will still receive the same amount of one-on-one personal attention and warm-in.
