Let’s Hear It for the Boys: Engaging and Empowering Adolescent Male Singers

Participants will learn or strengthen strategies for developing confident singers who employ beautiful tone, contributing to worship in a way that is impactful for all. Practical tips will be given for warm-ups, voice testing, and choosing repertoire for changing voices, with a particular emphasis on engaging and empowering adolescent males. Discussions will also include the benefit to an area Lutheran high school when children have a strong singing foundation in the Lutheran elementary school.
