Turning a Lead Sheet Into Ensemble Gold

This class outlines the process that I use as an arranger to build exciting works that are both fun to play and exciting to listen to. We’ll cover vocal harmonies, using the ear to find lead parts and harmony parts, basic soloing skills, and strumming. A low G is highly recommended for this class. Attendees should be familiar with singing the strings or have previously taken Harmony at Your Fingertips.

Bob brings his arrangement techniques into 7 specific considerations that will dramatically affect and improve your arrangements for your group or for your solo performances... and we'll play through examples of each technique.
