1-2-3 Method

Friday June 12, 2026 1:15pm - 2:15pm PDT

How about creating a method where people WANT to come with their music learned which in turn allows us to move from practices (where we teach people the music) to true rehearsals (where we START in artistry)? Now it’s here! This revolutionary method will help you to move your group(s) forward with more efficiency, more fun and more success in this culture changing approach.

Wavebox Singing

Friday June 12, 2026 2:30pm - 3:30pm PDT

TBA

Wavebox is an elegantly simple approach that world champions and emerging singers alike are using to sing at higher levels and, as a result, are improving more quickly than ever. Paul shared this concept with six chapters at the same time over a weekend training session, and four months later, ALL SIX qualified for their international competition. Since Wavebox is a conceptual approach with detailed application, you will improve EVERY song you sing and not just your two contest songs.
