Singing ONSTAGE! A Master Class with Tyler Pearsons of NYC @ Ruggero Piano

Singing ONSTAGE! A Master Class with Tyler Pearsons of NYC

During this two-hour master class, Tyler will help vocal performers develop stage presence, make bold character choices, find the truth of the song, and elevate their performance—as well as how to “get out of your own head” and really truly live the song.  Students are required to bring with them a piece of music from their audition book, their church, or perhaps just a song they like to sing around the house. Tyler will coach you through your piece, offering insight to help get you performance ready.

Registration fee:  $60 paid in advance.  Please contact the Director of the ATS&O to register and submit your fee:  dankehoe@aroundtownsingers.org or call the ATS&O National Box Office and leave a message at (860) 386-5154.   All ages. Comfortable dress. Limited to 15 participants, to allow for adequate personal focus.  Sorry, we are unable to accommodate walk-ins.

About your teacher:  Tyler Pearsons has been enjoying a diverse performing career in New York and all around, appearing in: Off-Broadway: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (William Barfee), Fabulous (Hell’s Kitchen Harry), Siren’s Den (Kurtis). Regional/Touring: Jesus Christ Superstar (Herod), Godspell (Judas), The Full Monty (Dave), and Peter and The Starcatcher (Alf). Television: Tyler has appeared on Law and Order SVU and created/produced the TV pilot “Full Count”.

Your host for the evening, and Tyler’s accompanist, is Director of The Around Town Singers and Orchestra, Dan Kehoe.  Dan has produced, orchestrated, and directed more than 15 major productions in New England, and specializes in identifying and showcasing up-and-coming talent of all ages, and teaching stage presence, especially to young performers.  His newest production (in which Tyler is featured) is right here in the Raleigh area on July 21, www.HymnSingSpectacular.com. He thanks Ruggero Piano for their support in arranging a grand piano for the show, and is himself the very happy owner of a Kawai grand from Ruggero.

Customer Reviews

I have known Richard Ruggero, who had done some work on my old piano, not only as a superb technician but also as one of the nicest and most honest people in the business. As my old piano is aging out, I have recently been looking for pre-owned Steinways, hoping to find my dream piano. Alas, the good ones are still out my price range, but I had recently heard about Estonia pianos, and contacted Richard Ruggero to see if he had one I could try. Indeed he did! He even placed it in a back room in the configuration I would have it in my living room, next to another piano. I really liked the Estonia, but liked the other piano even better, which turned out to be a Schimmel! Who knew? What I love about Richard and everyone in his shop is that they gave me (and the friends I brought along) ample time to play all the instruments we wanted to, with absolutely NO pressure! They were there to answer any of our questions but otherwise left us alone to play. Knowing how much I loved the (brand new!) Schimmel C 189, and also my budget, Richard was able to make me a wonderful offer, and I could not be happier with the piano! Delivery went smoothly, I’ve been playing it for a week now, and it seems to just get better and better! I am so grateful, knowing that I will have Richard and his staff to take care of my piano for as long as it lives here with me! - Ingeborg Walther
