Singing Yiddish: Owning the “nnn,” and the “rrr”
Monday December 23, 2024 9:30am - 10:45am EST
527 - Hebrew Union College
If your Yiddish isn't fluent and you find the sounds of Yiddish sometimes maddeningly different from those of your native language but you want to sing in Yiddish, or lead sing-alongs, or teach Yiddish songs — this is the workshop for you! Paula Teitelbaum has a wealth of knowledge and experience, as a singer and teacher, to help you gain confidence in singing Yiddish. We'll focus on sounds not found, or used differently, in English, Italian, German, French, Russian... We'll explore how sounds are modified in the flow of a text. We'll work as a group on drills and work individually on songs, including songs participants bring to the workshop. Workshop will be conducted in the room and in the Zoom—participate either way!
