MZ Glee : Cabaret Show Choir Class SPRING 2012
Are you a strong singer? Do you want to take your performance to that next level? Are you ready to be a part of something bigger than yourself? Do people tell you, “You should try out for American Idol?” Do you want to work with professionals? If this is you, you need to audition for MZ GLEE! MZStageworks is holding auditions for their Cabaret/show choir class. MZStageworks will accept 12 students to work solo vocals as well as harmonies. This class is for young adults (age 11-18) who take this seriously. Special exceptions to the age requirement will be made for younger students with exceptional abilities and a mature attitude. Anyone can audition but entrance to the class will be decided by a panel of theatre/music professionals. This is a great opportunity to reach for the stars.

Who Get’s In?
We are looking for strong singers who can blend as well as sing solo. They must be able to match pitch and be ready to work on harmonizing with other voices.
This group of students will audition in front of a panel judges. Each will vote yes or no for each performer. Students will be notified by mail either way. It is my goal to give each student the opportunity to experience a professional audition in front of an unbiased panel of professionals. That means that sometimes you don’t get picked- but “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”? As always, students can be in the Musical Theatre class which uses the audition only as a teaching tool, but everyone gets in (In that class we do big shows with the Broadway touch- top notch from top to bottom). This class is for those who are interested in “the next level”

Instructors:
Merrideth Ziesse (MFA acting- minor in vocal performance) - 13 years of Choral experience. 25 years of teaching experience including acting, dance and voice.

Marcie Millard - Atlanta's award winning Actress and Singer.

*It is my desire to bring in some other professionals in the industry to give us feedback throughout the process. Connections, Connections, Connections!

Fees:
You must pay a non refundable $25 deposit online to register (click on payments, select MZGLEE and follow pay pal directions).
The Balance due at the time of the audition is $425.
No checks will be cashed until decisions are made. Those not accepted will have their check returned immediately with their notification letter. I am doing it this way to make sure that those who audition for this are really serious and ready to go!

This price includes:
- 13 weeks of instruction
- Sheet Music & Rehearsal CD
- Performance Costume (You may have to provide shoes)
THIS IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THIS KIND OF EXPERIENCE!

ALL FEES ARE DUE AT FIRST CLASS.
