Glee Workshop

This class models the hit FOX TV show about an enthusiastic teacher who, against many obstacles, tries to bring a high school glee club into the spotlight. Aimed at the underdog in all of us, the show features pop songs from the past and present, sung by a group of teens who just might prove all their doubters wrong.  Express your inner "Gleek" with this fun and creative class. Students will discover and enhance their vocal skills in a unique and upbeat choir. Students will have the enjoyment of performing with a group and solo opportunities are available!  Follow the musical journey of Glee's New Directions with arrangements of the show's hits for younger singers. The Gleek's will learn 4-6 songs and class will conclude with a performance for friends and family. This class is offered as a weekly class as well as a camp.
