SUMMARY:Lift Every Voice Workshop
DESCRIPTION:GOSPEL WORKSHOP with Marcus Mosely, Darlene Cooper and Bill Sample\nThis 6-hour workshop provides participants with an opportunity to really explore this genre of singing. From its roots of field songs and spirituals to its development into blues, jazz, R&B and many other varieties of music, Gospel music has been used as a herald of social justice and civil rights. It unifies and connects people and serves as a powerful platform to let one’s “voice” be heard. Indeed, Gospel music is some of the most inspirational and electrifying music to arise from North America.\nLearn its roots, evolution and techniques in a workshop setting, and then put that knowledge to practice in an evening performance where friends and family can experience the joy of Gospel through the voices of you and your classmates! Learning Gospel music is fun – singing it with a group can be life-changing.\nWhat you will learn: The history of Gospel music and key developments over time Vocal techniques for singing Gospel (style and form). Foundations of rhythm, groove and movement Improvisational singing, call and response, and 3-part Gospel harmonies. How singing connects and empowers us. How to find your voice and communicate from your core.\nWell-recognized Vancouver Gospel musicians Marcus Mosely, Bill Sample and Darlene Cooper , the creative team behind the Marcus Mosely Chorale (well-respected Gospel Chorale in Vancouver, B.C.), will guide participants through this incredible musical journey.\nWho should attend: Open for ages 13 and up.
