Singers’ Workshops at TC is designed to assist young singers (ages 11-17) develop their vocal, musical, and communicative capabilities. Developed by Singing Voice Specialist, Jeanne Goffi-Fynn, these programs grew out of our partnership with Every Voice Choirs, a not-for-profit music program at Columbia University.
These workshops provide a unique opportunity for young singers. Aside from the fun of singing with peers, our participants perform in professional venues, participate in community service opportunities, and receive training from a nationally-recognized voice instructor with a team of professional vocal educators.
Singers' Workshops encourage healthy development of singing voices in various repertoire with positive and engaging performance opportunities. Dr. Goffi-Fynn directs three workshops: Audition Prep in the fall, Music Theatre in the spring, and Young Men’s throughout the year. Auditions are not required, although, a commitment to attendance and practice are expected.

Led by Dr. Jeanne Goffi-Fynn, the Audition Prep Workshop is designed to assist singers in preparing auditions for specialized performing arts high schools.
