Overview

Point Blank LA's Vocal Musicianship course will help you cross the bridge into musical collaboration and creativity through a deeper understanding of harmony and the musical language. Listening is the key to developing your vocal performances and honing your craft as a singer or songwriter, so you'll focus on ear training. You'll develop a strong foundation in vocal musicianship and build your keyboard skills in order to get your ideas down and communicate them to others. You'll also analyze song form through reading lead sheets and listening to repertoire, and you'll study basic vocal tone production technique for accurate intonation, phrasing, and feel.


Space is limited, so Enroll Now to save your spot in our college-level Vocal Musicianship course and take your vocal skills to the next level.
