Take a Vocal STAYcation with MacPhail!
MacPhail’s Music for Life has a wonderful option for those who are interested in the Madeline Island Vocal Retreat but don’t want to be away from home: Take a short commute to our Apple Valley site where our five-day retreat August 4-8 will follow the same basic structure as the Madeline Island version.
Each day offers an opportunity for a variety of musical experiences including vocal warmups, vocal technique, group ensemble singing and masterclasses.
Participants are encouraged to bring a solo piece to work on in two 30-minute private coaching sessions. In the daily masterclasses, individuals will have the opportunity to present their solo for feedback from instructors and peers in a supportive, non-threatening environment. If you are feeling intimidated about performing solo, you can participate in the group ensemble and observe the masterclasses.
We’ll also take a group outing to a local performance one evening, the cost of which is included in the price of the program, and share lunch together daily to build community and foster friendships between participants.
Be prepared for laughter and fun as we explore singing and vocal delivery and prepare to deliver a memorable performance that will convey the meaning of the music!
