Question: What will the SNATS Bake Sale Fundraiser support? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️⁉️
- The fundraiser will allow SNATS to continue to provide educational opportunities to undergraduate students and graduate students about voice pedagogy and host events that are informative and engaging such as: Build your own Larynx and guest lectures from experienced researching voice pedagogues! 🎶🎤

Join us on Sunday, March 2nd at 5:30pm on zoom for an interactive session with guest speaker Erin Bardua on exploring strategies for learning and teaching the techniques and tropes of pop- and R&B- flavoured singing styles in commercial music and musical theatre! 🎤🎧🎷🎸🎭

We will dive into topics including: codifying vocal techniques to make learning simpler and teaching more strategic, demystifying techniques and conventions of commercial styles for the classically trained, using tools like audio spectrum analysis to nail down the characteristics of sound that make a break pop style ... and many more!
