INTRO TO RIFFS AND RUNS

 

Have you always wondered how Christina and Mariah can riff and run so confidently, and wondered how you could do it yourself?

Well - wonder no more!

This is your opportunity to - finally - learn how to riff and run like the pros!

 

You know learning to riff and run just makes you a better singer overall, even if you don’t riff and run in the general sense?

2 notes or more, moving on one vowel, is essentially a run. Almost any song you sing will have this happen, and some people find it difficult to do that smoothly, sounding amateur. So, let’s refine your running skills and get you singing smoothly and with control!

 

This adult class is for:

  • total beginners who have never ‘riffed and runned’ before. :)
  • people who have never even sung before.
  • people who have some singing experience or sing well, but don’t know how to riff and run fluently.
  • people who sing and want to add to their skill set.
  • people who just want to be a better singer overall.
  • people who are looking for new hobbies and want to ‘give it a go’!
  • people who want to have fun while learning.

 

You’ll be in a small group of no more than 4 people, in my home studio surrounded by instruments and music!

 

 Here’s what you’ll get in this 4 week course:

  • 1 hour per week for 4 weeks 
  • Skills to riff and run
  • Gain some knowledge of scales
  • How to incorporate riffs and runs into your singing
  • Expand your understanding of music and singing
  • Expert guidance - from highly experienced, qualified and passionate vocal coach and singer songwriter, Lauren Lucille.
  • Resources and recordings/sound files so you can practice at home!
  • Showcase with participants from all four courses, to show off your new skills in a private setting, where you’re welcome to invite friends and family.
