Melodic Journeys: Exploring Oriental Singing Techniques

 

An empowering workshop designed to build confidence and essential skills for beginner singers to master vocal techniques, harmonize, and perform with poise when it comes to Arabic oriental singing.

The goal of this workshop is to create an encouraging environment for beginner-level Arabic oriental singers, helping them build confidence to perform on stage. To achieve this confidence, singers need to be technically prepared and equipped to handle challenging or high-pitch songs effectively. Key skills for participants include: Knowing the optimal moments to breathe during a performance, adding their personal touch or "signature" to the song, managing complex, non-monotonic melodies, harmonizing effectively with instruments, singing cohesively in a chorale, performing a flawless duet. Additionally, the workshop will focus on enhancing listening skills, as strong listening abilities are essential for becoming a great singer. Participants will learn to identify and address their weaknesses rather than avoiding them, a critical factor in developing as a successful performer.
