Your Voice & Your Vision

THURSDAYS 4:00 - 6:00 PM

ARTIST DEVELOPMENT

Build your confidence as an emerging artist.

From Vocal Technique to Industry Business

In this program, artists will strengthen their vocal technique through structured exercises and personalized coaching; both individually and in group settings to refine control, tone, and range. Build confidence and authentic expression through live performance practice, learning how to command a stage and connect with an audience.

A strong emphasis is placed on each artist’s unique vision, both as individuals and as part of a creative community, encouraging collaboration while staying true to personal artistry. As students explore their respective paths, they’ll be encouraged to write an original song and, if they choose, share the story behind it in their own word; an opportunity to reflect, heal, and connect on a deeper level.

The program also covers the practical side of the music business, including branding, choosing an artist name, copyrighting original material, and building professional relationships. Artists will examine the responsibilities of leadership how they show up, what they communicate, and the lasting impact they have on audiences and communities.

The program culminates with a clear, personalized plan for producing a CD or digital release, equipping each artist with the tools and confidence to take the next step in their musical journey, always emphasizing each student’s personal vision.
