What is Choir Center Stage?

Choir Center Stage is a full day seminar designed to help your church music program be more effective on stage. It is a great event for a choir retreat or kickoff in preparation for a seasonal production!


What To Expect

The seminar runs from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. It is a day filled with fun activity, as participants will learn through exercises and demonstration. We will workshop songs from your repertoire. In addition, if you are in the midst of a seasonal production we can help stage a number for you. Note: this seminar is focused on visual presentation–we will leave the musical direction up to you!

  • to feel more comfortable on stage
     
  • how to build a relationship with the audience
     
  • tips on body control–when to move and when not to move
     
  • the proper use of eye contact
