In-Person Masterclasses
Students of The Sharkey Voice Studio participate in class workshops, where singers perform for each other in a supportive peer environment under the instructor's direction (or/and with a visiting guest artist) - giving you all the support you need to help you take your vocal performance to the next level.
Masterclasses offer a complete musical experience and evaluation, regardless of his or her performance skill. Every aspect on how to make a successful performance in front of an audience is addressed.
The instructor – who has “been there and done that” – will guide, encourage, hold your hand, and help you to achieve your musical and performance goals.
Whether you want to polish an audition, exam or performance piece - or simply just want to learn and improve as a singer - these Masterclasses can help you gain the skills and confidence to become the vocalist
you want to be.
All students are accompanied on piano by a professional collaborating pianist.
