Workshop Descriptions:

Choir: The vocal workshop is a super exciting, authentic-learning experience. The choirs are given a short excerpt of music from a Disney movie. Under the direction of a Disney director, we sight-read the excerpt, rehearse, and prepare it for a recording session. These types of real-world learning experiences bring education to life, highlighting that the skills we’ve learned in choir have value outside the classroom walls. Once we’ve recorded, our track is put into a Disney movie, and we get to watch our performance of the song.

Band/Orchestra:  Throughout the orchestra and band workshops, students will learn a repertoire of Disney music and hone fundamental skills including intonation, musical balance and tone quality. In addition to sight-reading practice and ensemble-training, they’ll learn how phrasing, dynamics and articulation can add emotion to any piece of music.

Disney music professionals will give music lessons and share insights about the high expectations of being a professional musician and how to succeed in this highly competitive field. Endorsed by the National Association for Music Education, the Disney Imagination Campus Soundtrack Sessions: Instrumental workshop is sure to hit all the right notes for your band or orchestra— culminating with a screening of their recorded work set to Disney film footage!
