'Maestro' Adult Singing Class

Mondays, 5:45-6:45pm, 60 min class - $165 per term at Stage Door Studios

A 60 minute Group Singing Class for Adults (16+)

Suitable for all ability levels, attendees will working on a number of songs each term, with a focus on developing good singing technique, harmony work, musical knowledge, perfecting songs together in a group situation and having fun!

In Stage Door's Maestro Group Singing Class we integrate the principles of Bel Canto – the Italian technique of beautiful singing – and Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic practice, to help students connect deeply with their voices and bodies. Bel Canto’s focus on breath control and vocal resonance complements Hakomi’s approach to body awareness and emotional presence, ensuring that singers not only improve their technique but also develop a deeper connection to their singing and performance.

With careful tuition and guidance towards correct vocal and breathing technique,  ALL students will improve their singing ability, while making wonderful music, socialising and having loads of fun in the process!

CLASS NAME MEANING

All of our Group Singing Classes are named after a musical term. 
More often than not, directions regarding the volume, speed and style of a piece of music are given in Italian. ‘Maestro’ is no different

In English, ‘Maestro’ translates to ‘Master’
We thought this a rather apt class name for our most mature singers!
