Structure of the Class
The fall and spring sessions of PDX Vox
run for 13 weeks.
In the fall, singers participate in 2-hour rehearsals with a group of 15-20 singers and learn 5-6 songs together.
In the spring, the main rehearsals are 90 minutes in length, and singers have the option of signing up for an additional hour of rehearsal to participate in a small group of 6-8 singers. 
While the focus of the program is to improve singing skills through the learning and refinement of songs, the director also works with the groups on vocal technique, stage craft, basic music theory, and choral blending.
At the beginning of session, the director holds an all-group retreat, which is a half-day weekend event filled with music, designed to orient both new and returning singers.
Near the end of the session, the groups perform the songs they have learned for family and friends at
an end-of-session show, and at an additional performance at an senior living residence.
