Vocal Workshops

Encourage and energize your worship singer team, support vocalists, choir, ensemble, and/or students with a vocal workshop or clinic! Kris will work directly with you to create a teaching session suited for your singer’s, member’s, or student’s needs and abilities. Some ideas are listed below.

Options include but are not limited to:

• Workshop – typically 1 – 4 hours; topics covered from basics (posture, breathing methods, warm-ups) to more advanced (vocal techniques, diction, style, expression) depending upon time allotment.

 

• Clinic – more interactive; singers from your group will be asked to sing individually or in small groups as the remaining class observes. A clinic would typically be 1 – 2 hours, sometimes used in conjunction with a basic vocal workshop earlier in the day.

 

• Worship Team Singers Workshop – typically 2 – 3 hours in one or several sessions; the team will be asked to prepare a few songs in advance from the worship music set. Interactive instruction includes working on blending, supporting the worship leader, quality of sound, and an emphasis on expression. Basic workshop elements are included as needed.   

 

•  Choir Clinic – typically 2 – 4 hours; the choir will be asked to lightly prepare a few songs in advance. Kris will work with your choir director and members on expression, technique, group dynamics, phrasing, pronunciation, and style. Elements of a basic workshop are also included as needed. 

 

• Conference Teaching – One or more of the above options can be adapted to suit your church’s worship conference needs. Typically a basic vocal workshop and then a more advanced clinic would be offered during the conference. Singers could be encouraged to sign up ahead of time for the clinic portion and have the chance to prepare a song in advance.     

 

• Individual Lessons – These are available in the Colorado front range region. Kris works with singers on a weekly, bi-monthly, or one-time basis. Contact Kris to check for availability.
