Ages 9–12 Years: Singing Workshop
Intermediate Development of Voice and Stage Presence 🧝🏼♀️
Service Description
In small-group singing workshops for ages 9–12, students deepen vocal technique, musical fluency, and expressive confidence in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming environment. Instruction supports each singer’s unique voice while guiding them toward healthy habits, interpretive skills, and emotional connection across styles. Workshops expand on chest voice, diction, and pitch accuracy while introducing head voice and, when appropriate, healthy register blending. Tone, breath coordination, resonance, vowel shaping, and phrasing are taught in the context of storytelling and performance, encouraging singers to make choices that shape mood, character, and style. Piano remains central for pitch support, theory, and self-accompaniment. Students practice scales, progressions, and rhythmic patterns, strengthening independence by playing and singing together. Production, introduced in earlier years, becomes a tool for interpretation. Using MIDI keyboards and BandLab Premium, students record vocal lines, explore loops and textures, and study how tempo, harmony, and instrumentation affect phrasing and expression. These tools mirror what songwriting students use, but with the goal of refining vocal artistry. Sight-singing, melodic tracking, and rhythmic fluency also develop at this stage, supported by the Nashville Number System for analyzing patterns in commercial music. Workshops include structured activities, session recordings, and semi-annual progress reports. Families may also connect with the instructor through secure chat for additional support.

Booking Policy
At Once Upon a Voice, we are committed to creating a smooth and supportive learning experience for all students and their families. Our policies are designed with a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach to meet diverse needs while maintaining fairness and consistency. Parents or guardians must remain reachable during workshops for students under 18 in case of technical difficulties, as we may need your assistance troubleshooting. Our team and Muzie, the platform we use for workshops, are available to provide support and minimize disruption. Please note that only registered students may participate. If multiple children wish to join, each must be enrolled individually to ensure an equitable experience for all participants. Consistent attendance is vital for student progress in workshops. Although sessions cannot be rescheduled, students who miss a session can access playback recordings on Muzie to review the material. If a student arrives late, the session will still end at the originally scheduled time to respect the group’s schedule. In cases of unforeseen delays, please notify us so we can accommodate your needs while maintaining the group’s structure. Frequent cancellations, tardiness, or no-shows disrupt the learning process and may result in limited scheduling options or dismissal. Open communication and a commitment to the agreed-upon schedule help ensure the group’s success. Students unable to continue indefinitely due to physical or mental health concerns may request prorated refunds, calculated from the date we receive medical documentation. Temporary absences do not qualify for refunds unless the instructor is unavailable, but students are encouraged to use accommodations such as recorded sessions to stay engaged. By following these guidelines, we can ensure a fair, equitable, and engaging learning environment for all participants. Let us know how we can best support you on your musical journey.
