Will take his class again!"- KDThis class will meet inside CVU.

Conversational Italian for Intermediate to Advanced Learners - ONLINE
Benvenuti in Italia! “Conversational Italian” is dedicated to your needs and wants in this beautiful language. For this reason, the preliminary assignment for the first class is for you to prepare a realistic list of things you would like to learn given the number of sessions we will have. This is the ideal equation: Beginning of class + End of class = I learned what I wanted to know! If you wish the class to be conducted in Italian or have a hybrid approach (Italian and English) you must all agree to this for obvious reasons. Having a hybrid approach is beneficial and Cinzia will explain her philosophy in this regard. Not sure what level of Italian you are at? No problem! Sign-up and decide after the first class if this will meet your needs. This is an online class. A Zoom or Google Meet invitation will be emailed prior to the start date. All handouts will be emailed directly from the instructor. "I have taken this online Italian conversation course with Cinzia for three years, and it is a great touch-point every week to practice the language and even meet new friends in Vermont who also have an interest in the language. Some of these friendships from the online class have transitioned into real life friendships, as we continue to meet after the class is over to practice Italian together!" "I really enjoy these classes with Cinzia. They provide an opportunity to practice Italian in an informal, friendly and chatty atmosphere. Cinzia sends materials between classes but homework is more or less at the individual's discretion. It helps me keep on my Italian and especially practice my listening and speaking skills with a native speaker. Cinzia is funny, warm, and great at teaching colloquial details."

Sing Your Heart Out!- An Exploration of Improvisational Singing
There are many ways singers can benefit from improvising, such as expanding their range and sound qualities, gaining confidence in their singing and discovering their musical creativity. In this class we will explore vocal improvisation through a variety of methods including Circle-Singing (developed by Bobby McFerrin and his collaborators) where we create songs in the moment using melodic patterns, percussive sounds, harmonies, and more, ‘Vocal River’ exercises developed by Rhiannon which include sound with movement, call and response, and many more solo as well as ensemble practices. (Jody recognizes how vulnerable we can feel trying new things as a singer. This will be a very supportive environment where you will listen and connect with each other musically.) You will learn new musical vocabulary, take risks, and have fun playing with your voice! If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at jjalbright58@gmail.com This class will meet inside CVU.
