Structure of the Class

Each session of PDX Vox runs for 15 weeks, and the classes are 2 hours in length. Here's the general routine for each class:

• 10 minutes: check in with group about previous week, cover class "business"
• 20 minutes: vocal warm-ups / music mini-lesson
• 90 minutes: work on learning or refining 2-3 songs

The groups learn 5-6 songs during the course of a session, and these songs are performed for family and friends at an end-of-session show, and at an additional performance at an assisted living residence.
