At KCPA one of the things that makes us shine is our Music Classes. We’re not just another Dance Studio we’re a full Performing Arts Conservatory.
Michelle Gosnell Director of Music “My goal in working with a voice student is to first recognize the natural range of the voice and then work closely with the student to choose a repertoire that both fits the voice and interests the student. We then work on vocal placement to find the true bel conto, combined with work on tonal memory, breathing, posture and relaxation; and in doing so we have fun! We learn and practice stage presence, facial expression, blocking and the importance of being passionate about performing. We learn to communicate as we perform, to share what the composer wanted to come across through the lyrics, melody and dynamics and often we analyze the accompaniment for any hidden meaning; in essence, we work to give the audience a wonderful experience.”
As far as piano lessons, she uses the Bastian Series for it gives a strong foundation in music theory as well as teaching the student to recognize patterns through intervals which is vital in sight reading. Miss Michelle, as her students call her, feels the most important thing is that she and the students have a positive and fun experience while learning.
Her pricing is $15.00 for a 30 minute session weekly for either voice or piano instruction.
