Find Your Groove: Vocal Group Classes at Groove Music School

Note from our Founder aka Vocal Instructor, Cheryl Loon:

I'm so excited to be rolling out these vocal group classes so that many more students out there can benefit from learning how to sing in a setting that's not as stressful because you'd be with many others who are looking to improve their singing. On the other hand, I know some may find group classes nerve wrecking especially if they are put in a spot to sing in front of everyone. I know, I know! I've been there and honestly, I still don't like being the centre of attention but I've learnt to overcome that.

I want to promise you that I have thought long and hard about how I can make the environment comfortable, inclusive, insightful and fun for everyone. 

What makes Groove Music School's vocal group classes different is the high standard I hold for myself and in the classes I conduct. 

• Honest and transparent in my interactions with you. I believe in open communication.
• Maintain a high level of competence and adhere to the highest ethical standards in my practice.
• Treat all students with respect, regardless of their background, abilities, or beliefs.
• Show compassion and empathy for everyone's experiences and challenges.
• Treat all students with fairness and equality.
• Avoid causing harm to you or others through my actions or inactions.

But most importantly, why this is going to be different is because I have taken a lot of time to work on this curriculum with the aim of overcoming the challenges people encounter in group classes, some of which are:

- Don't have enough individual 1-1 time or personalisation
- Feeling lost in between lessons and no time for questions
- Can't keep up with the pace
- Overcoming self-doubt
- Fear of judgement 
- Varying skill levels in class

My goal for everyone who comes to this class is to walk home feeling like you have:
- Become a better singer in your own way
- Have acquired the fundamentals of singing
- Materials and resources to take home to continue practicing
- Gained more confidence in singing
- Learnt to like your voice more than before

These classes go beyond just learning vocal techniques. They focus on the interconnectedness of the emotional, physical, and mental aspects of singing. By addressing all three, I will help you improve your singing skills and become a more confident and well-rounded singer. 

Classes combine practical skills with the science of singing. I'll make learning fun for you. See you there!
