The How to Sing Series: Engaging with Lyrics

In approaching lyrics, study how to interpret the text. Begin by researching the piece, learning about the librettist, the time period, and the historical context. Also research the composer and how the piece was written. Using the text of an original song, and your character analysis worksheet, work to find your own expressive connection with the piece and create your interpretation of the song. This lecture, presented by Dawn Pierce, is from The How to Sing Series. Let a master teacher train you in solid singing technique, vocal artistry, and the skills of inspired performance.
