CHORAL FITNESS, a workshop designed to bring vocal freedom to your singing group
ENJOY choral singing more than ever! In the Choral Fitness Workshop from the McClosky Institute of Voice, you will learn to free your breath and to sing without tension. You can improve your sound and your stamina at any age!
“The emphasis on natural breathing and freedom from tension is effective in singers of all ages, and particularly in mature singers who may have years of bad singing habits.”
