Take it to the Next Level

So... I got to see most of you this week and introduce you to Mel's Vocal Program (MVP).    I was a little worried that this structure wouldn't be seen as a good thing by everyone.  I should have known better.  You guys ROCK!  I've gotten so many texts and emails from you telling me how excited you are to work on this program.  Haven't seen a lot of posts to the blog yet, but I know you'll get in the groove soon!

This program takes your vocal technique and performance to the next level by giving you a checklist to work on over the next few months.    Once you meet the Level 1 requirements you get to choose a pathway for Level 2.  There will be three Level 2 programs: Artist (future recording artists and bands), Academic/Musical Theater, and General.  Level 2 students are invited to special workshops, showcases and small group sessions designed to keep you inspired and informed while you work your butt off to reach your potential.

The Level 1 Requirements are posted in the menu bar to the right of this page.

Those I saw this week... POST YOUR PRACTICE TIME AND OTHER COMMENTS HERE!  Love ya!

  7. Katie,

    Glad you figured out the blog posting. Aren't you supposed to be from the generation that has limitless understanding of technology?

    Anyone find a diagram of the pharynx yet for your Level 1 requirements?

  15. I've read the "Slow hands" lyrics 4 to 5 times today. XD I also sung with the the song for about 10-15 minutes(Excluding last night, sung song four times yesterday). I pretty much caught up with the tempo but now I'm having problems with breath control. Melissa, I need your help!
    :-(

    @Katie- Good luck with the audition! :D

  16. @marg20 Just keep practicing the tempo. Try looking at the lyrics and planning when you are going to breathe. The rest will all come back to you as you get used to the timing of the song! Have fun!
