Make Someone Happy:
Singing from the Great American Songbook

A workshop led by Chelsea Beatty

Saturday, March 22
1:30 - 3:30 p.m. ET
In-person in Lenox, MA

Workshop Cost:
OLLI at BCC Members: $15
Kimball Farms Residents: $15
Non-members: $20

This workshop will take participants through an interactive song preparation process using the song “Make Someone Happy” by Jule Style. Participants will examine the lyrics, melody, rhythm, and stylistic choices, and apply what they learn to their own singing.

This workshop will be good for choral singers or those who love to sing along to their favorite records, and want to stretch themselves (and their voices) into solo repertoire.

No solo singing will be required, but volunteers will be invited to share with the group in the course of the workshop. Music will be provided.

Chelsea Beatty trained as a classical soprano, with degrees in vocal performance from The Boston Conservatory and University of Colorado Boulder. Over the past two decades, she has performed on opera and concert stages around Boston and beyond, and was a two-time district finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.
