Description:
CABARET WHAT IS IT?
Cabaret is a unique style of performance that allows each singer/performer to be themselves to sing in the style they choose. Cabaret simply means performance in an intimate setting usually where food or beverage is served. We at Cabaret 805 always work with a live accompanist (not recorded tracks) and build our own arrangements appropriate to each individual?s style of performance. We will ?nd and place your song in the best key for your voice giving you the greatest opportunity to sound your best. If you don?t know or have a style we will help you discover and develop one; we will ?nd the you in the music.
COME SING AND HAVE FUN
Join the Cabaret class at anytime. This is an ongoing class format where instructors works with each student at their personal level and build upon that experience. This is an active learning experience masterclass workshop format. Each singer works with Grant the instructor and vocal coach, along with one of our professional accompanists. From beginners to professionals, we all learn from watching, listening to, and responding to one another. In our masterclass we work to help you ?nd the singer and the song storyteller in you. We are lucky to have an additional pianist every other week in an adjacent room to help you learn any new songs you?ve chosen. Meanwhile, the masterclass continues in the main room.
