Over 270 people have already signed up to be part of the "Harmony in Hawaii" cruise out of Honolulu later this year (November 9 - 16, 2008). This is shaping up as a very exciting international event, as it will include singers from several countries, including the U.S., Cananda, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and England.

Cindy Hansen and Kim Hulbert will conduct clinics and workshops. The 2006 Men's International Quartet Champion Vocal Spectrum and Women's quartet ZING!, a very popular International competitor, will provide coaching sessions. At the end of the cruise there will be a big “Harmony at Sea” show with a men's chorus, women's chorus, and mixed 8-part chorus.

15) Picking songs to sing - where to find music, where to get ideas, etc.

16) Script writing for a quartet or chorus show

17) How to make it creative (your quartet or chorus show)

A few more classes are still in the works. All classes will be conducted during the time at sea or early hours before port visits so that our participants will not miss anything the ship or ports have to offer.

The tour package will include:

All port fees and taxes

Rehearsals for the show (3-5 sessions)

A shirt for performance on the show.

Coaching session(optional)

Classes(as many as you choose)

All music and learning tools.

Group dinner with performers

Welcome kick off event with Vocal Spectrum and ZING! And more!
