What to Expect

Rehearsals will start by breathing and warming up our voices and bodies. All Voices rehearses with a live band with the lyrics projected for all to see. Music will be taught by ear. We will also spend time listening to recordings and reflecting on what we hear. Please bring a water bottle, journal and a writing utensil with you to rehearsal.


Repertoire

All Voices sings a little of everything! Musical Theatre, Pop, Jazz, Folk, Country, Children's Classics, and songs in different languages. Our repertoire from the Fall 2024 session was: On the Road Again by Willie Nelson, Funiculì, Funiculà! (in Italian), Jamaica Farewell by Harry Belafonte and I’d Do Anything from Oliver!
