Oftentimes during this process the participants realize how little they use their memories...mind and body...to retain information.· Movement and Rhythmic ExpressionMovement has always been a dynamic and integral component of the African American choral experience. Through a vibrant and interactive format, the participant will gain an understanding of the nature and purpose of movement and rhythmic expression within the context of a gospel choir.· Vocal TrainingIn this module, the participants will explore their voices through a series of exercises designed to improve vocal freedom and diction, rhythm and tonality, and breath control.
