Shoreline Soul Kids! New This Fall

Angela Clemmons is thrilled to announce the start of “Shoreline Soul - Kids!”  This workshop is open to youth in grades 4-8 who want to “stretch” their music experience. They will be encouraged to sing with uninhibited joy - and in a way that is supportive of the group as a whole.  As the daughter of a Pentecostal preacher, Angela fell in love with gospel music as a child and that love has only deepened over the years. The majority of her professional singing peers share that same story. The songs chosen will be for the purpose of uplifting and inspiring our youngsters to sing as never before. 

Two identical “Shoreline Soul - Kids!” workshops will be offered in Branford and Madison. The five, 90-minute sessions will be focused and fun, culminating in three performances! Two in Madison; one in Branford.  Below are the details:
