Be part of a truly fun group class! This ongoing forum since 1995 has been extremely popular to singers at all levels. This is the same course that Ms. Neff taught at UCSF, where 100””s of students worked with her over for over ten years; many taking it on a continual basis to refine their skills  in a comfortable group environment.

We like to keep the group intimate so space is limited to 8 persons per session only, so if you are interested you should reserve space immediately. It is a wonderful way to start singing consistently in an productive supportive environment. Great class to take with a friend!

Please get in touch if you have any questions. To ensure a space in the class, you must send payment to the address at the bottom of this email.
