This class is suited for singers who are comfortable singing one-on-a-part and would like a real challenge. With an emphasis on duet and trio repertoire, we'll dive into great repertoire from American genres including country, bluegrass, blues, and contemporary folk, and also mix in songs from around the world including Balkan duets, South African harmony styles, and other close-harmony traditions.
We'll break into small groups from the get go, exploring all the challenging and fun aspects that singing in a small group entails. This includes holding parts independently, being able to dial into fellow singers and make a blended sound, feeling flexible with harmony parts and adding personal touches, being able to express and shape an arrangement together, and feeling confident singing in front of others in a small group.
As the class progresses, we'll form small groups where students will work with the same classmates each time to to polish songs. Practice tracks and rehearsal materials (scores/notation as needed) will help with independent practice, as will additional optional practice sessions. We will end the class in a sparkling showcase for family and friends!
The Winter 2025 series of this class is open to both returning and new students. If you are a newcomer, please email
