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

Throughout my life, I've had trouble dealing with stress and anxiety.  It's greatly affected my ability to sleep and concentrate.  It's also affected how I interact with other people. Although I'm obviously excited to have a new piano and a wonderful teacher, I believe that the biggest benefit has more to do with anxiety levels and my ability to stay focused.  I'm much more relaxed now and I can work and concentrate for longer periods of time.  I'm 52 but I can easily work 50 hours a week.  I seldom worry about anything at all and I no longer need medication for depression or anxiety.  I'm happy and content.  I love my life! The reason I'm telling you this is that there are many people like myself that deal with stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression, and attention problems.  Those issues then affect their personal lives, business relationships, and career productivity.  If a piano and an instructor can help others as it has me, then everyone should have access to this.  I believe it so strongly that I now have a piano in my veterinary office so I can practice a little each day.  My attitude has improved. That has allowed me to take better care of my furry patients and to be a more compassionate doctor.  Managing stress has also helped me focus while performing surgery and it has helped with business management. I strongly recommend that any competitive business that wishes to help their employees be productive, get along with coworkers, and lower stress levels begin offering piano - much like health care or gym memberships.  Anyone else dealing with the issues I mentioned should also find a piano and an excellent instructor.  Any school system that's having trouble with student performance, attention, and anxiety needs pianos.  The piano continues to challenge and benefit me in ways I hadn't expected.  Probably the biggest benefit for me isn't what I can play now but how well I now play with others. Thank you for recommending my Yamaha piano and for the incredible service you provide. - G. Eric Wheelis, DVM
