Mezzo

Monday (timing tbc), 45 min - $140 per term at Stage Door Studios

A 45 min group singing class for Intermediate aged students. 

Stage Door's Mezzo Group Singing Class offers a fun and engaging blend of singing instruction and music education. This class will see students dive into essential skills like sight-singing and music theory alongside learning rewarding and more challenging pieces of music. Through lively lessons, students will explore musical notation, key signatures, time signatures, intervals, and harmonies. The class will sing a variety of repertoire, taking into account the interests of the group. New and more challenging repertoire will boost vocal technique and musical expression, all while preparing singers to take their voices to the next level.

Students rehearse towards Singing Recitals in the middle and at the end of the year.

TERM ONE

During Term One our focus for all of Stage Door's school aged classes is on establishing connections and creating a safe and fun classroom environment where we hope our students will be able to relax, have fun and grown in confidence and skill throughout the year. We take time to get to know each other, play games and invest in activities designed to promote connection, team work and fun. We find that doing this at the start of the year is absolutely vital to establishing a class culture and environment inline with our tag line that Stage Door is a place "Where Everyone Belongs". 

Throughout the year our Mezzo Group Singing Class will work on developing their vocal technique and growing in confidence as they sing different songs. Ultimately, students will perform songs at our Mid Year and End of  Year Recitals (scroll down for more information about our 2025 Recitals). 

Parents and Students are asked to keep an eye on this page, where updates, practice resources and homework notes will be regularly added throughout the year.

* End of Year Singing Recital - Friday, December 12, from 6pm

CLASS NAME MEANING

All of our Group Singing Classes are named after a musical term. 
More often than not, musical terms are directions as to the volume, speed and style of a piece of music, and Italian words.   ‘Mezzo’ is no different.

In English, ‘Mezzo’ translates to ‘Middle’. 

When Stage Door first introduced Group Singing Classes to our offering back in 2015 we had three classes running: 
- Our youngest class (‘Prima’, or ‘First’);
- Our oldest class (‘Ultimo’ or ‘Last’), and;
- Our middle class - the Mezzos
