Discover the importance of preparation and how to master songs by ear. We'll guide you through effective methods for internalizing melodies, ensuring you're confident and ready to find harmonies.

There’s no reason to hesitate reserving your spot for the workshops. We recognize that life happens and most things are outside of our control. If an emergency comes up (your car breaks down, you get sick, you can’t find a babysitter—anything!) and you are no longer able to make the event at all, just let us know and we’ll refund you the cost of the ticket you purchased.

We also guarantee that you will not be forced to do anything you don’t want to do. If you merely want to come and observe, you’re welcome to! With a ticket, of course. No one will be made to sing a solo who isn’t ready. And no one will be demeaned, or made to feel inadequate. Even if mistakes are made.
