■ General information ■
"Chanticleer" is an ensemble of XNUMX male voices who continue to maintain the top position in the high-level American a cappella music world.Their popularity is high because of their advanced technique, perfect harmony, elegant and transparent and quiet singing voice, and their latest CD is ranked XNUMXth in the national sales of the classical music category at the same time as it is released.Chris has been with Chanticleer for XNUMX years until XNUMX, during which time he has won two Grammy Awards.He is also a soloist who makes full use of the range of baritone and countertenor, from Renaissance music, which is the center of Chanticleer's repertoire, to contemporary music such as classical, musical, popular and folk, as well as spiritual and jazz.Currently a lecturer at the State University Music Department at his alma mater, he has been involved in many vocal workshops since he was at Chanticleer and has extensive teaching experience from beginners to advanced players.
Chris's workshop, "One of the most important techniques for a singer is to enjoy singing," is held on a small scale of up to XNUMX students so that each student can be properly considered, and a relaxed atmosphere is valued.However, the mini-private lesson part accurately captures individual tasks, regardless of level, and after just a few minutes, the voice quality clearly improves.Many people are attracted to their warm personality and effective teaching, and then start private lessons.
This program is excellent because it allows you to study English intensively at a university-affiliated language school known for its high level of education, while receiving the same Chris vocal workshops that are normally offered to Americans. ..You need to have enough English ability to understand the instructions at the workshop, but if you wish, you can also take a vocal workshop preparation class at a language school.In the preparation class, you will prepare for the textbooks used in the workshop with the teacher of the language school and study the main words necessary for listening.You will also learn techniques for taking American university-level classes, such as how to ask effective questions, which is useful for those who are aiming for long-term study abroad.Language school classes are highly evaluated not only by students aiming to go on to university in the United States, but also by working people, saying that they are "hard but effective at an early stage."This is a program that people who want to invest in themselves during the summer vacation should definitely try it.On weekends, you'll also see some of America's finest classical, jazz, and popular concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area.
□ Christopher Fricchi sensei's lesson experience □
Testimonial XNUMX: What impressed me most about Chris sensei's private lessons was the theoretical and detailed commentary. I mainly learned how to breathe, but I was able to learn more about the movements of the body when breathing and the effects of those movements on the vocal organs. I was also impressed by Chris sensei's passion for education, who actively guided me through exercises and reference materials so that I could study by myself after the lesson.
Testimonial XNUMX: It was a very fun class.It was very meaningful to learn the correct vocalization method and English pronunciation.
Testimonial XNUMX: I was not good at low pitches, but I was able to master it.Also, I feel more confident in my performance.I think it was a great program.
Testimonial XNUMX: I've always thought it impossible to sing with a strong voice.However, as I followed the instructions, I was really surprised to hear a voice volume that I had never heard before.
