Youth pro Musica Summer Workshop: August 20 – 24, 2012
Second Church of Newton
60 Highland Street

Plunge into music and singing this summer!  Youth pro Musica invites young people ages 8 to 18 who love to sing and perform to attend our Summer Workshop.  The Workshop is the ideal setting for singers to learn new skills, challenge themselves and befriend other young people who share their interests.   

Registration will open up in mid-December.  Those who register by February 1 pay $225.  (It’s $250 afterwards.)

YpM’s Summer Workshop will help each singer to develop his or her vocal technique and musicianship.  The team aspect to choral singing is important, too.  Robert Barney is the Director of the Workshop.  Mr. Barney and his staff work hard to cultivate a supportive atmosphere where young people are comfortable learning and making new friends.  The week will culminate with a concert to demonstrate for families and friends what has been learned in just one week.  The concert will be held on Friday evening at the Second Church. 

The day’s activities begin at 9:30 am and conclude at 3:00 pm.  (Drop-off is between 9:00 and 9:30 am.)   Singers attending the Workshop will take part in various classes, seminars, and other activities, including:

• Voice Class
• Music  Theory
• Sight Singing and Ear Training
• Diction
• Small Ensemble Rehearsals
• Full Chorus Rehearsals

Classes and ensemble groups are based on a singer’s age and prior musical training.  Participants will bring increased confidence and knowledge to their  musical pursuits during the upcoming school year.   YpM invites you to experience the joy, discipline and fellowship of choral singing this summer!
