A fun group and solo singing camp!

Led by the faculty of the Brooklyn Harmonics Teens, Tweens & Twenty+ Vocal Performance Program, this camp focuses on close harmony ensemble singing, breathing and vocal health, interpretation and style, microphone technique, arranging for vocal ensemble or solo voice and performing with a live band.
