Are you interested in learning how to sight-read music? Singing by sight is one of the most valuable tools you can have in your arsenal as a singer. Not being able to read music and relying on the knowledge of others only works for a season.
Join the New York Singers Committee for an introductory class on July 31, 2018. Based on your participation and your feedback, we hope to launch a series of sight-singing courses. Come with questions! This event is open to members and their accompanying guests.
When: 2:30 - 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 31, 2018
Doors open at 2:15 p.m.
Where: SAG-AFTRA, Multi-Purpose Room
1900 Broadway, Fifth Floor
New York, NY 10023

About the Instructor
Chantel Wright has been actively engaged in transforming lives through music education for the past 34 years. Currently, she is on the music faculty at New York University, is the founder and artistic director of the Songs of Solomon Choir in Harlem, and is in high demand as a choral clinician nationally and internationally. For the past nine years, Chantel has been an active collaborator within the Weil Music Education Department of Carnegie Hall where she spearheaded the Count Me In program that prepares middle school students for the specialized high school audition process. As an orchestral conductor, Professor Wright understands the importance of vocalists being musically literate and has developed methodologies to achieve that end. Her philosophy of music is “Solfege will set you free” and she has helped thousands of performers achieve their goals.
Please note that the class is designed specifically for learning to sing at sight. The singing that takes place is all related to reading music and being able to perform what is on paper. This is not a solo or group master class platform.
This meeting is only open to paid-up SAG-AFTRA members in good standing and their guests. Parents/guardians of younger performers under 18 years old are welcome. SAG-AFTRA MEMBERS, PLEASE BRING YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD OR DIGITAL CARD ON THE APP (paid through Oct. 31, 2018) FOR ADMITTANCE.
