more details » Singing Class for LGBTQ People and Allies with Eli Conley Singing Class for LGBTQ People and Allies With Singer/Songwriter & Voice Teacher Eli Conley Level II: Intermediate Vocal Technique, Beginning Harmony and Ear Training Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:30 pm, January 22nd - March 12th The Women's Building 3543 18th St, San Francisco 0.4 mi from 16th St BART Wheelchair Accessible http://www.eliconley.com/singing-classes.html **Class Description** This is a class for self-identified transgender, queer, bisexual, lesbian and gay people and our straight allies who want to develop their singing voices in a fun group setting. This level two class is for people who are already comfortable with singing, whether or not they have performance experience. Previous musical instruction or an ability to read music are not required. We will explore solo song performance both a capella and with instrumental accompaniment, singing in harmony on assigned parts as well as coming up with our own harmonies, and ear training to hear and sing a major triad chord and the intervals of a major scale. The class will culminate in an optional informal recital. Glitter will also be optional but highly encouraged! Participants should generally be able to stay in tune and hold their part against another part in a song. Students who wish to work on playing an instrument and singing at the same time are welcome to explore that in this class. If you have any questions about whether this class is right for you, please contact Eli at SingWithEli [at] gmail **About the Teacher** Eli Conley is singer/songwriter and voice teacher based in the Bay Area.
