    Class Descriptions:

    Anna-Lisa Glad - "Onward and Upward! "
    Combining and improving Vocal, Physical and Mental skills to further our Sweet Adeline growth individually and collectively. Be prepared to sing, move, groove, share, plan and set goals!

    Ryan Heller - "(Re)emerge-ENERGIZED!"
    In this class, we will explore various types of energy and how to maximize them as we return to live singing. We all know that there’s going to be a lot of celebrating, and allowing the energy to flow, and be shared, with a specific focus, purpose, and destination, will make the experience all the richer!

    Julie Starr - "Managing Change"
    It's only in times of change that we start with the ending. What have we lost? What do we need to say good-bye to? This class starts at the ending and works forward to the beginning of something new. A class for chorus leaders and anyone else who feels invested in helping others (and themselves) come through periods of change with grace, integrity, and hope.

    Angela Suraci - "Choosing Music- Why is it SO hard?"
    Want to know what to look for when you're searching for a new song? Join us to go beyond "I like this song, let's sing it" as your go-to method for picking music. Learn the ins and outs, tips and tricks, and get a checklist of what to look for in a new piece.
