Students work on body, breath and breathing awareness in order to sing better.
Vocal technique is approached in a playful way, with students familiarising themselves with the theoretical bases (for example by using a score) and sharing exercises using the repertoire studied, vocalises and other games allowing for progression.

Improvisation and Circle Song are practised regularly, in particular to develop variations in interpretation and vocal technique, and always to be more present, more relaxed, freer.
The students improve their stage presence by paying attention to the way they sing with a microphone and move. They learn to develop their relationship with the group and the audience, as well as their interactions with the accompanying musician and the sound engineer.
Students are encouraged to be proactive and to evaluate themselves.
Vocal practice and memorization work are to be done at home independently and regularly.
