Yiddish Song 
We have challenging and expansive offerings for everyone
from singing-in-the-shower beginners to accomplished
professionals.
Di
Shererai/PM1 Josh Dolgin
If singing Yiddish songs is fun, then singing Yiddish
songs in four part harmony should be four times the
fun. It’s just simple arithmetic. In this workshop,
we will sing through some amazing close-harmony arrangements
from the vast repertoire of Yiddish pop, theatre, holocaust
and folk songs written for mixed voices in the early
20th century. If you can read music, that makes life
easier, but just having a good ear is a great start.
Vocal Master Class: Your Inner Yiddish
Voice/AM1 Adrienne Cooper with Marilyn Lerner
Coaching for advanced students in polishing your performance

finding an inner voice of beauty and authority.

Eydn/AM2 Adrienne Cooper with Marilyn Lerner
Yiddish folk repertoire offers a feast of songs about
foods: those that comfort, those that remind us of long
lost homes, those that celebrate the important occasions
in life. A repertoire class for all.

Singers)/PM2 Joanne Borts with Josh Dolgin
 An
