HOW TO SING & PLAY AT THE SAME TIME
and Other Tips & Tricks For Playing Out!
How many times have you mastered a strum pattern, lined it up with your chord progression, only for it to all fall apart when you start to sing?! This workshop will break down the layers of both playing and singing, and guide you through exercises for building them back up to successful singing and playing simultaneously. In addition, we'll talk about best practices for strong vocals, memorizing lyrics, and generally preparing for playing out at a performance, jam, etc.All levels welcome.
