October 3rd - The Child Artist - It Starts with a Song!

It is through song that children learn to develop their very first instrument – the voice. Singing can deeply connect children to a musical world that can be accessed anywhere and in any moment. Join Josie as she explores the world of singing through vocal pedagogy, musicianship, movement, repertoire selection, interpretation and creativity.
