Description:
Welcome! In this lesson series, we'll work on improving your riffs and runs, focusing on three key areas: clarity, speed, and style. If your riffs are unclear or lack finesse, this is for you! We're going to break down the techniques you can use to add precision and flair to your riffs. We'll use popular song examples like The Star Spangled Banner to help guide you along. This series is best suited for higher voices, but if you sing lower, feel free to adapt and follow along one octave lower. Let’s have fun and improve those riffs!
