Although we don’t require you to have one, the more you can replicate an in studio setup the more effective the class feedback will be. A free standing microphone stand means you can stand up straight and fully engage your body when you perform. A music stand will help avoid paper ruffles through your microphone. If you plan to take more intermediate or advanced courses we highly recommend you invest in some basic equipment so your instructors can hear you more clearly and give you more targeted feedback.
