Musicianship Training
Delaware ChoralArts periodically offers Musicianship Training for Singers at various times at The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew, taught by DCA’s music director, David Christopher. The objective of the training is to give singers an opportunity to develop confidence and improve their effectiveness as a choral singer by studying music theory and ear training. The classes are geared toward the “intermediate” choral singer, but special sessions and classes can be arranged at other times for those who want more advanced training, or need to focus more on the basics. There is no $$ fee for the class, but donations to Delaware ChoralArts are always welcome!
To inquire about DCA’s Musicianship Training Class or ask when the next one will be, contact David Christopher at DelawareChoralArts@gmail.com.
