VocalFri Podcast

VocalFri addresses "The Webinar." Choose love friends. Not Judgement. That's how we'll navigate through this to a brighter future on the other side. 

Old School VocalFri! If you just need a break to hear some friends talk, we're here for YOU this week! A little discussion about what we've learned from online teaching and the future of live music making, but really, just sit back and enjoy your Saturday with some old friends. I can promise a sing-a-long if you tune in through the end. :)
