~  Curriculum ~

Watch for future publicity with the exact class titles and descriptions.  Classes will cover every aspect of quartet singing from vocal to visual, from selecting music to selecting a coach, from beginning to winning! 

You will learn specific techniques for developing your voice and singing your voice part, building championship skills, making the most of a coaching session, figuring out what the arranger intended, getting better scores, and having a successful competition experience. 

You will also have the opportunity to interact with, and ask questions of, the International Champion Quartet that serves as faculty. 

Here’s your opportunity to learn from those who have Been There, Done That!

Queens’ College only comes along once every four years....don’t miss out!

~  Coaching Appointments  ~

The Registration Form asks quartets to indicate their preferred time.  Past experience tells us that most quartets want Saturday afternoon.  Those appointments are filled with the first nine quartets to request that time slot, so if that’s your preference you need to register at least six months ahead. 

Coaching begins Friday evening at 7:15 p.m. and continues through Sunday morning. 

~  WHAT DO WE GET?  ~

In addition to a full schedule of classes prepared and taught by the faculty, each quartet or individual who registers by the deadline (30 days before each college) will receive music to a Marge Bailey arrangement of Up, Up and Away, a part tape made by The Buzz (individual members, be sure to specify the part you sing), and any handouts used in the classes

 Registrants may also observe any of the coaching sessions to watch the faculty in action and perhaps pick up some hints for application to their own coaching or teaching experiences.

~  REGISTRATION FEES  ~

Registration fee for quartets, which includes a 90-minute coaching session with one of the faculty members, is $200.00. 

Registration fee for chorus directors, quartet coaches, interested members, or those aspiring “wannabees”–in short, for everyone else–is $75.00.

Registration fees may be transferred, but are not refundable.  Several of the past Queens Colleges have been oversold and late registrants have been placed on a waiting list.  Avoid this by registering early.  Attendance at each location is limited to 50 quartets and 50 individual registrants.  

Queens College is not a money-making project for the Coronet Club. In fact, it’s a way for the Coronet Club to fulfill its commitment to quartet promotion and education. 

Registration fees are used to help defray the cost of faculty travel, housing, meeting room rental, materials, and other administrative expenses, but the Coronet Club contributes an equal amount from its education fund to sponsor this event.
