A new singing camp is coming to Redmond Aug. 6-10 at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center at 16600 N.E. 80th St. for teens and preteens ages 11-17.

Glee Camp will give students the chance to train like the stars of the Fox TV series, “Glee.”

“Glee Camp is not about getting your kid to just sing some songs. It’s about teaching them the same vocal and performance techniques that the cast of ‘Glee’ and other professional singers use,” said camp director Kim Snyder. “It’s about challenging them to discover what’s inside them, inspiring them to work hard and to put on the show of their lives.”

Snyder is a certified vocal instructor and performance coach who works with singers around the world through her studio The Voice Club. A professional singer and voice talent since the age of 15, she has prepared singers for “The Voice,” “X-Factor” and “American Idol” as well as major record label showcase concerts.

“When I was a teen studio singer I worked only with adults so I had to work as hard as they did,” she said. “But when I started training younger voices I realized that few other instructors were really expecting much from them. That’s where the show ‘Glee’ has made a big difference. When kids see what other young singers are capable of, they want to go beyond just singing fun songs. Glee Camp gives them a taste of what it’s really like to sing and perform at that level.”

Snyder led several singing camps, vocal workshops and conferences in California before moving to Redmond last year. The Voice Club is planning on future camps and classes in the Redmond area and is opening private lessons for local students of all ages.

Glee Camp is a one-week camp with a live concert at the end of the week. For registration details, visit www.TheVoiceClub.com/GleeCamp.
