Singing at this level challenges you to expand your technique and musicality in new ways. You’ll strengthen your individual voice while developing a heightened sensitivity to ensemble cohesion, all within a professional, collaborative setting. The Modern Voices Ensemble at ModernTone isn’t just about achieving technical excellence; it’s about deepening your expression, elevating your musicianship, and discovering the transformative power of collective artistry.

At ModernTone, we’re dedicated to cultivating an inspiring, professional environment where every singer contributes to the whole. Whether your background is in classical, jazz, or other styles, we invite you to join us in exploring advanced ensemble singing. You’ll be challenged to refine technique, expand musical depth, and elevate your skills, all while building community and creating lasting artistry through music.

Ensemble singing sharpens advanced skills such as tonal precision, breath efficiency, and interpretive nuance, strengthening both individual technique and collective sound. Yet the rewards go beyond technical growth. Immersing yourself in a high-level vocal ensemble deepens artistic fulfillment, offering a space to explore creative expression with focus and purpose in community with others. The shared joy of making music at this level is unparalleled - an experience that challenges, inspires, and unites singers through artistry.

As part of The Modern Voices Ensemble, you’ll have opportunities to present polished, sophisticated performances at studio concerts and community events, showcasing the depth of your artistry.

Performing together at this level gives you the chance to shine while contributing to the group.

At ModernTone, we believe in the impact of intentional ensemble work. That’s why The Modern Voices Ensemble is kept to a focused size, ensuring each singer receives precise coaching and detailed feedback. In this concentrated setting, you’ll refine technique, strengthen artistry, and benefit from individualized guidance that larger choir formats simply can’t provide. This approach also allows us to craft intricate, customized arrangements that highlight the ensemble’s strengths and set our performances apart.

Singing in an advanced vocal ensemble cultivates artistry that extends beyond the rehearsal room. As you refine blend, intonation, and ensemble precision with fellow singers, you’ll strengthen your ear training, rhythmic mastery, and technical control.
