Roger requests a simple MP3 recording or video sample of your singing if he has not worked with you recently.
After you fill out your registration form, we will be in touch if Roger needs an audio sample.
This workshop will focus on four aspects of the CircleSinging experience:
1) Using the CircleSinging process as a method for developing traditional music skills
2) How CircleSongs can developed beyond the first idea
3) How to bring variation to the “style” of CircleSongs
4) How to morph from one CircleSong into another
