Specialized Vocal Workshops
In 2015, Opera Steamboat began providing vocal workshops for special needs clients in partnership with Horizons Specialized Services and the Yampa Valley Autism Program.
This summer, through community grant funding from the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club, Opera Steamboat was able to continue our vocal workshop program.
On July 24th to 28th, in partnership with vocal therapist and instructor Dr. Dan Comstock, we held 7 workshop sessions with clients and caregivers from the Yampa Valley Autism Program, the Parkinson's Support Group as well as both Steamboat and Craig's Horizon
'
s communities.
Dr. Comstock is an accomplished vocal therapist and instructor and through his program provides educational and therapeutic coaching using the voice.

Workshops teach vocal/musical skills through songs. Through this participants learn the fundamentals and elements of
speech, singing, rhythm and movement.
Participants gain not only skills in vocal performance, but also increased self-confidence, mindfulness and competence in day to day activities beyond the workshops.
