Di Broadway Academy, sejajar dengan kata-kata pengasas Estill Voice Training, Jo Estill, setiap orang boleh menyanyi dan setiap orang mempunyai suara yang merdu. Kelas vokal di sini mengaplikasikan teknik dan falsafah pembelajaran Estill.

Asas pembelajaran vokal Estill Voice Training adalah pengetahuan anatomi peti suara (voice box) dan kemahiran mengawal dan memanipulasi semua struktur yang terlibat dalam penghasilan suara di dalam dan di sekeliling larynx. Jo Estill, seorang yang mempunyai bakat menyanyi sejak kecil, sering tertanya-tanya bagaimanakah suaranya di hasilkan. Dia akhirnya menjalankan penyelidikan saintifik menggunakan teknologi x-ray, endoscopy dan sebagainya untuk mempelajari proses penghasilan suara yang sebenar.

Modul Latihan Suara Estill (Estill Voice Training) ini dijadikan asas kepada pembelajaran di BATS. Hasilnya amat memberangsangkan dan kami berani beri jaminan yang anda akan berpuas hati dengan hasil latihan di sini. 

Selain itu, kami juga menyediakan peluang kepada pelajar kami untuk mempraktikkan pembelajaran mereka di dalam recital bulanan dan showcase yang kami adakan pada setiap semester pembelajaran. 

Jangan tunggu lagi! Hubungi kami dengan segera dan kami akan membantu anda untuk mencapai target vokal anda dengan efektif dan selamat!

Kate Sadler Choir Workshop & Vocal Masterclass

Attention all Music Lovers!

 The phenomenal Kate Sadler is back! And she is ready to teach, coach and inspire you even more.

For those who are unaware of this inspirational lady, she is an England born Australian bound vocal coach and conductor. The founder of the Melbourne Youth Music’s ‘VoxSynergy’; who won 2^nd place on Australian’s Channel 7’s Battle of the Choirs competition. Sadler was also the choir’s Musical Director for 8 years.  She has also musically conducted various ensembles in Australia. Sadler has had her fair share of international acclaim and has been published in Britain’s largest specialist classical music company in the world, Boosey and Hawkes.

Sadler is a vocal coach who is passionate and helps strive to find her students’ creative individual “voice”. She does not believe that there is only one style of singing; therefore with the continuous exploration of musical techniques and emotion of various music styles, it would help her students find their individual “voice” that she believes is within all of us. Be it in a group or on our own.  

“My aim as a music educator is to encourage singers, whether individually or collectively, to enjoy singing and feel the buoyancy of its rising tide in their daily lives. They are taught to scrutinise the musical and vocal technicalities and the language of the text and given opportunities to put their findings on the line in performance.” - Kathryn Sadler

For these three days, we are offering a choir workshop and an individual vocal masterclass, the master classes are limited to  only 6 pax (only 2 more spot left!) with lunch included. If you register for the Choir Workshop before 31^st August and 30^th September 2013, you will enjoy a discount of 39% and 19% off, respectively.

Why BATS ?

Good Morning Everyone ... hope you all got a good rest ... so 2013 is just around the corner and BA is pretty sure everyone is excited in welcoming the new year ... and so are we here at Broadway Academy Talent School (BATS) with our January intake. We have been shouting out on our Facebook and Twitter, and also flyers have been sent out and banners are up as well. Hope our banner is not playing Where's Wally with you out there.

So here we go , our January 2013 intake is already open for registrations, with 4 levels of show choir classes, and we have drama classes , broadway dance class and also musical theater. BATS is also having elementary musical theater and children's show choir for kids. Start young , thats the spirit and trust us, it really helps your child develop.

Lets talk about our courses, as our name itself says it "Broadway" , our programs are designed more towards the American way of education whereby we focus on "skills" learned rather than just a certificate. We all know the case where everyone has a certificate but to actually do the job at hand is a whole different story. That is the point that we want to stress here at Broadway Academy, its not just about hanging a nice certificate on the wall, but actually perform and be a performer. Of course if someone walks in and says "i wanna learn singing or and instrument and I want to go through certification for it" - we can arrange for that. But we want you to learn things with the fun element and  not being "stress" - "oh no .. i have 2 more weeks to my test , what if I don't make it " - its no fun it that line keeps bugging you and every time you come for lessons, its stressful. Right ? ? ?

Lets take our vocal lessons for example, we have levels that the student have to go through and at the end of each period the students will have to do a mini recital or performance. And BATS will have a panel there at the end of the show to see how far the student has progressed and to see if he/she is able to cope to the next level. Don't worry, you wont have judges like in those competitions who will put you down and say " You can't sing to save your life " - No....... Its more of them giving their opinions and views to the student. Then we proceed to see if they proceed to the next level and what needs to be fixed. So that's how it works.

Next question .... " but i don't want to perform , i'm scared ... ". This is the next important step that BATS want all their students to be good at , being a performer. You may think that being a performer is merely performing on stage, that's not true. When you perform on stage - you actually gain a lot besides performing. Just standing on stage facing the audience - you have enough courage to face audience - stage fright gone - confident level increases. Then performing on stage - you concentration and focus level increases - don't think singing out lyrics and audience interaction is easy - its not. These are among the points that we want our students to have. And these skills will also be useful outside of the performing arts arena.

So ... think about it. And remember our January 2013 intake is open for registrations, dont forget to call us at 03- 6142 2601 or email us at batsinfo@broadwayacademy.asia if you have any questions. See you there !!!

PS: Also a lot of our students have had chances to perform in events and be a real performer. :)

Moving on from 2012 to 2013 with BATS International Series 2013

Merry Christmas Everyone & a Happy New Year ...

So the year is coming to an end, just a few days to go before we hit into 2012. It has been a very interesting year as well for everyone at Broadway Academy.

In 2012 the Broadway Academy Talent School has geared up of a exciting classes, workshops and camps. Lets just take a minute to look back at what BATS has done in 2012. We had 3 levels of Show Choir group classes , the numbers are definitely picking up as well as the standard of the performers. We saw a lot of difference in the Freshman group going on to the Sophomore, more exciting choreography and people were getting more comfortable on stage projecting their voices and can be heard. Not only show choir, but the drama class has also gotten more attention which we will share more later on. On the other hand, the dance class has been doing some very beautiful Bollywood dance steps where the students have really enjoyed their term. That's just for classes, BATS also did a 8 days Show Choir camp in Suria, Cherating and the participants put up a very good show at the end of the 8 days, some questioned is it possible to do so??? Well, i guess question answered !! YES WE DID!. Besides that, BATS also played host to students from St. Andrews Singapore for a 1 day Drama Workshop and you bet it the students had alot of fun. And just a  week back, we had Kate Sadler a very well known vocal tutor and coach all the way from Melbourne was down in Broadway Academy for a Choir Workshop and Vocal Masterclass. To BATS, this is something we  were really looking forward to because there was so much that they could learn from Kate having led her VoxSynergy Choir as Champions, you can't go wrong learning from the best.

This leads us to BATS's International Calendar 2013, we have installed a very exciting line-up and will be having very experienced and talented people coming down here to share their experience and to learn from them. This is one way that BATS can contribute to the performing arts society, we must all be open to learn in order to improve ourselves. Of course costing is something that we cant push aside unless we really have corporate body who is willing to support the programs. We note however that some mentioned the costings are high, but rather look at it as - its cheaper for everyone to chip in and get someone down here rather than 1 person flying off for a lesson - right ? flight , accomodation , expenditure + classes , do the math : ) ... and with the talents and people that BATS have , its definitely worth learning from them.

So for 2013, we have a very exciting line up of guest artiste coming down from vocal to musical theater and we are talking people who are currently on Broadway !!!, isn't that exciting ??? And as usual, we always have our Earlybird and Fan Club discount available for our loyal supporters. So, we will be releasing the calendar very soon , sometime in mid January so stay tuned for more info. Like our Facebook page at Broadway Academy and follow us on @broadwayacademy as the announcement goes out fastest there. We guarantee its going to be great.

So see you there !!!

Cheers Everyone

Unorthodox Show Choir class

Last week (6/1/2012) we had the most unusual, yet interesting Show Choir class ever. We had a special guest instructor, Joshua Gui, who conducted our master class.

For you guys who's wondering what is a master class, it means "a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline" - wikipedia. Basically it just means we had a vocal class with someone who has expertise in vocals.

our students focusing on lesson

Unlike the usual "ma ma ma ma ma" and "do re mi fa so" vocal warm up, students were ask to hum and create sort-of a siren sound - while imagining there were papers  to pick up from the floor! The rational is to stretch their vocal chords - in a safe way and also exercise their stomach muscle so they can support their voice. "Unorthodox" doesn't even begin to explain the experience!

There were other different methods and techniques that were taught by Joshua for the students to realize the usage of the correct body muscles to support their voice. Pictures or it didn't happen? Feast your eyes!

Want some testimonials? here's what some of our students posted up on fb and twitter.

Envy much? Don't be! Come and join us instead. We are opening our next batch of show choir very soon! So send in your registration or contact us to book a spot for yourself NOW!

Till next time!
