Mezzo

Monday 4:50-5:35pm, 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.
Our aim is to establish a safe and inclusive environment for self-expression, honour student voices, and learn the basics of performance and music theory.  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. 

There are many social-emotional and health benefits to group singing. Among them include fostering a sense of belonging, community, well-being, and healthy vocal tone. In addition, the creative expression and human connection inherent to group singing can promote greater engagement and result in lasting friendships. Here is a wonderful overview of the many advantages to singing with others: Benefits of Singing 

Mezzo students will rehearse towards Singing Recitals in the middle and at the end of the year. 
(See below for more information about Stage Door's 2025 Singing Recitals). 

Students are asked to bring along a bottle of water, pencil, & black folder for music.

Important Notices for Mezzo

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. 

In Term One, under the tutelage of Emily Flynn, our Mezzo students had fun singing a number of songs:
* Glorious
* Count On Me
* Pēpeha
* Fight Song
