Why: A cappella singing is a great way to showcase your vocal talents, without the distraction of music.

How It Works: Singing a cappella is slightly different from other singing experiences. It requires a higher level of vocal prowess, and is often more demanding in terms of range and technique. It is important to learn how to sing and take regular classes. Groups rehearse on a regular basis and then perform to a wider audience.
