Feel empowered by English pronunciation tools and musical expression
WHERE MUSIC MEETS LANGUAGE
Minimize English-speaking pronunciation challenges through targeted sounds and vocal expression
Learn English Through Singing The Sharkey Method™ (LETS) online classes is a great alternative to in-person classes and they run very similar. You are still taught sounds the same way, you still have pictorial visuals, videos, as well as personalized instruction showing you exactly how your mouth needs to move based on demonstrations through singing. The resources from the in-person classes are incorporated into the online classes to make activities and practice engaging, and you still target the same goals. All the learning material can be accessed online wherever you may be, to ensure your pronunciation goals are easily accessible at all times. The target goals in LETS are still provided in a detail-oriented and specific manner so that you can walk away from the online class feeling confident of what you have just learnt and how to implement it.
LETS is offered online weekly over 11 weeks during either the fall, winter or spring term by the Saskatchewan Music Educators Association in collaboration with Global Gathering Place. The final session of the course is a short, online student concert featuring the students of LETS performing solos of their favourite songs from the course or of their own choosing - and celebrating their achievement and completion of the course. Registration is completed through The Global Gathering Place. For more information please contact [email protected].
