Are you a high school student in the Marlboro, NJ area? Would you love to sing more, but don’t have the time during the school day? Do you miss singing in a group with friends? Are you an aspiring singer or actor? Do you love the thrill of performing in a group or by yourself? Do you just want to do more singing or acting than you do now?
In an effort to expand the opportunities for high-school-aged students that love to sing, act, or play handbells, area choral conductor, Ryan Guth, founded VoiceWorks; A full service training center for student musicians. VoiceWorks will be offering programs for the recreational singer or aspiring professional singer/actor, beginning with ensembles such as a Handbell Choir, Vocal Choir, Acting Classes (see below) and soon expanding to provide private voice instruction, a musical theater ensemble for talented solo and ensemble singers, acting and improvisation classes, and audition prep. and theatrical career coaching.

Students must be ages 14-18 and have prior AGEHR Level 3+ ringing experience or a significant musical background. This class’/ensemble’s aim is to gain an advanced music education, perform locally, and eventually record and tour in the summer.

- learn advanced ringing techniques, such as shelley, four-in-hand, advanced malleting, and more, to take them to a new level of ringing expertise
- learn to conduct an ensemble
- improve music theory skills
- have fun performing for local events
- engage in team building
- and most importantly, look good on a college application!
Meeting Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 PM from Sept-June. (Limited to 11 ringers) $10/hr.
The class will be taught by Ryan Guth.
