The basics about BAA online classes:

What you’ll need to have:

• An internet connection.
• A computer or connecting device with a camera.

How will it work?

• We will meet using ZOOM.
  This is a free service you may already have. Please, download the latest version to guarantee a smooth connection and use of all the latest features. When creating your user name, please make sure it features the student’s NAME and/or LAST NAME so you can be easily and properly identified by the instructor.
• Logging into your ZOOM class room. 
  You’ll receive a Zoom class room link before the start of the first session of your selected series. This will be the same link you’ll use every week to connect.
• Only participants registered in the Master Class will be allowed in. So, reserve your spot in a timely manner!
• Your instructor will be accompanied by a BAA Staff member during each Master Class. The BAA staff member will supervise, address and help with any technical questions, and guarantee each performer gets equal work time with the instructor. During vocal classes, we will lead a warm up right before so everyone is ready to sing!

More details will be sent your way upon registration!
