The intensive includes:

10-  45 minute, private sessions 

2 - group classes (held on Fridays 5-6:30 p.m.)

1 - showcase

In private sessions, Carrie specializes in helping clients find their artistic voice and freedom with singing & performance artistry. From troubleshooting issues surrounding technique & vocal control, to the mental and behavioral challenges that can plague performers (performance anxiety, confidence and stage presence, etc.) Carrie comes alongside each student to customize a vocal regimen that is applicable for them specifically, addressing their issues and concerns. 

Songwriters will explore their unique voice and writing style. Focus will be on the craft of songwriting, song and harmonic structure, lyrics and music theory.

 Group vocal sessions gives each student a chance to practice performing, whether it’s  getting comfortable singing in front of others, sharing original material or workshopping a song before an audition or performance. Group sessions are a wonderful way to collaborate, gain confidence and meet other vocal artists and songwriters! An option to do 12 private sessions and showcase is available to students who can't make the Friday group classes for an additional $70 fee.

 The final showcase is a ticketed event, open to the public giving students professional level performance experience.
