This studio masterclass, led by studio owner Adrienne, centers on building healthy belting across musical styles and is designed to support each singer’s current training. It offers a clear picture of how belting is defined in different genres and how it can look, sound, and feel when used safely in varied musical settings. The session opens by mapping how belting functions across styles, sorting out terminology and clearing up common myths around chest, head, and mix. Through live demonstration, participants hear contrasting coordinations and how vocal choices shift with style, range, and expressive goals. The group then explores sensations linked to efficient, sustainable belting, with an emphasis on awareness and self monitoring rather than a fixed, prescriptive method. In the final portion, Adrienne coaches individual singers. Participants may bring a brief song excerpt to work on, or observe as others apply the concepts in real time to better recognize healthy coordination versus strain across different voices and styles. The workshop complements ongoing private lessons by building shared vocabulary, sharpening listening skills, and providing practical insights to carry into continued study. Cost is $35, or free with a Performance High Flex Pass available to PH clients only.
