Soundtrack Session: Vocal | Disney Performing Arts Workshops

Sight-read and record vocal music from Disney films in a simulated film-scoring studio environment. Learn the importance of sight-reading, listening, rehearsing and watching the director.

Workshop Overview

Intermediate to advanced vocal ensembles experience the excitement of a working recording studio where industry professionals present sight-reading techniques, performance concepts, improvisational tools and the entire process for laying down a musical track. Important performance and rehearsal concepts are reinforced by the supervising Disney clinician. Students have the opportunity to work with a recording technician while using click track and wireless headsets to produce their very own version of a vocal selection from a beloved Disney film. This 90-minute workshop culminates with a screening of the students' recorded work set to Disney film footage!

During this exciting learning experience, students will:

• Perform and record a varied repertoire of Disney music
• Sight-read, listen, analyze and describe music
• Evaluate music and musical performances
• Develop and reinforce the fundamentals of musical performance
• Learn what it's like to work in the music industry as a professional
