Sing for Fun (Indian)
Sing For Fun - Indian Music, is a program designed for both kids and adults. As the name suggests , it is an initiative which combines learning along with some fun!
About the Course
Sing for Fun is for students who just want to sing and have Fun! OVIMA works with its students in a holistic way developing the individual, and not just the students, artistic and musical skills.
Our Sing for Fun Group Classes are held once a week for 60 minutes. Students learn vocal technique to sing effortlessly, any genre of music. In each quarter, students work with 2 areas of technique:
Areas of Technique:
- Quarter 1: Posture and Diaphragmatic Breathing
- Quarter 2: Pitching and Vocal Range
- Quarter 3: Phrasing and Rhythm
- Quarter 4: Diction
The students will do vocal warm-up exercises pertaining to that area of technique. In a 10-class period, students must bring in at least 3 songs, that they would like to work on from a specified genre for the quarter. Songs are to be submitted to the office right after they Register for Classes. For the age group 4-6 and 7-11 years, instructors will suggest songs. If the song a student brings in is difficult, the teacher will be able to recommend something else, or the student could bring in something else as well.
