Bring in the Drama

I created a musical theater camp last year and it was a home-run hit.  We have quite a few voice students at the school, piano/violin/guitar students that love to sing, and I have a lot of musical theater experience so it just seemed like the right thing to do.  In private study, voice students work one-on-one developing their instrument but in the real world, they will most likely sing in a musical theater production, a glee club, an opera, in a band, or in a choir.  It's imperative that the students know how to bridge the gap between singing in a small room for only one person and singing with and for a huge group of people.  Also, a major roadblock for a lot of people is the audition process.  Ack!  Scariest thing ever.  No one wants to do it, but we all have to in order to get into the production, group, ensemble, etc.  Private study is necessary to hone vocal skills, but being a part of a group musical learning experience, takes things to the next level. 

Now young singers have a chance to experience the audition process, rehearsal process, and performance in a low-key, non-threatening environment.  Plus, in the camp we only work one scene so it's not over-whelming like when one is in a full-fledged production.  Voice students need to hear the accompaniment.  They need to hear the other parts they're singing with.  It's difficult to visualize where you need to go if you can't see the big picture.  Performing musical theater allows you to be a part of a story, one that's musical and dramatic.  It can take a little bit of the fear out of just standing up and singing in front of everyone by yourself.  Let's bring the voice students out of the shadows and into the limelight where they belong.
