Advanced Vocal Techniques
All students are capable of hitting high notes and producing clear, beautiful sounds. In other words, vocal techniques and high notes are not exclusive to a select few; everyone is inherently capable. Therefore, anyone can rediscover the skills and sensations that may have diminished over time, allowing them to achieve powerful vocals and high notes. Ultimately, this process relies on five key senses. This approach applies not only to practical music but also to classical and traditional Korean music. With effective methods and consistent practice to reconnect with these senses, anyone can develop excellent vocal techniques.

Performance
We don’t experience music solely through audio; we go to concerts to see the music. If music were only about listening, stage production, lighting, choreography, and effects like fireworks wouldn’t be necessary. Singers also wouldn’t need to care about styling, hair, makeup, or gestures. Likewise, entrance exam judges don’t evaluate students solely by audio—they assess everything the student presents visually as well. Preparing only the song means you’ve only done half the preparation. Performance classes cover everything that can’t be conveyed through sound alone, providing training in all the elements that complete a powerful stage presence.

Rhythm, Technique, and Style
The Rhythm, Technique, and Style class is designed to teach you all the methods for expressing your unique ideas in your own style. To achieve this, extensive practice in various techniques such as timing, rhythm, melisma, tone, vibrato, and end-note control is essential. Nowadays, simply singing well is not enough for entrance exams, as most applicants are already skilled singers. So, what becomes important when everyone sings well? You need your own distinct color—your unique style. Mastering the art of expressing your personal thoughts with your unique color is the masterpiece of today’s practical music entrance exams.

Lyric Emotion Immersion
"Emotion cannot be created on its own," and "humans express what they feel." This is the essence of emotion and expression. If we could create emotions ourselves, we could be happy every day, regardless of circumstances. When we eat delicious food, we naturally exclaim. When we're angry, we shout, and when we're sad, we cry. It’s human instinct to express what we feel. Without understanding the true nature and principles of emotion, genuine emotional delivery is impossible. The core of the Lyric Emotion Immersion class is to practice conveying real emotions based on this understanding.
