Summer Cabaret Program
Each summer, Shoreline Singers offers a very popular Summer Cabaret program. Participants will receive five private voice coachings at Rebecca's home studio, during which you will work on preparing a song for the performance. At the end of the summer, all participants will perform their solo at a Cabaret at the Riverhouse in Haddam. Please register early, as there are a limited number of spaces available in the program, and spaces do fill up each summer! Complete the registration form below and mail in with payment to register. Email Rebecca if you have any questions about this wonderful solo performance opportunity.
Summer Cabaret Registration Form available here.

Requirements for Participation
There is no audition for the program. I am happy to teach people of all learning styles and needs to the best of my ability. Students must be entering 5th grade or older.
Tuition
Forms and tuition are due by June 10th.
I now offer a flexible number of coachings! On your registration form, choose the number of lessons you would like.
First-time cabaret performers must register for all five coachings.
5 coachings = $180 (family discount $160 each)
4 coachings = $150 (family discount $130 each)
3 coachings = $120 (family discount $90 each)
You must send payment with your registration form in order to guarantee your space in the program!
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all coachings and the cabaret at the end of the summer. Failure to attend coachings or the cabaret will not entitle student to any reimbursement of payment. Once the final schedule is emailed and approved by parent, dates/times may not be changed. If a student is late to a coaching, the remaining time will be used to its fullest advantage, but the ending time will not be extended. Make-up coachings are not provided for missed sessions. If a student misses two or more coachings, I reserve the right to withhold that student from performing at the Cabaret at my discretion.
Performances
We will have one cabaret-style performance. This is intended to be a fun, entertaining event, and not a formal recital. The Cabaret will take place at the Riverhouse in Haddam, on Sunday, August 19 (time TBA). Pasta dinner will be provided (gluten free and vegan options available) and there will be a cash bar. Tickets will be available at the door for $10 each.
Music and Materials
We will work together to choose one song for you to perform at the Cabaret. The song can be in any style or genre appropriate for the student’s voice. The student is responsible for purchasing the music in a timely manner. I can recommend places where music can be purchased. It is highly recommended that the student bring something to record with (video or audio) to every lesson, so that they may use the recordings for practicing at home.
Location
Coachings will take place at the private studio of Rebecca Degnan, at 19 Camp Bethel Road in Haddam.
Schedule
Coachings will take place on Wednesday mornings, Wednesday evenings, Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings, and are scheduled on an individual basis. Please indicate on the registration form what days/times you are available and I will contact you to schedule your exact times after the registration deadline. Please also indicate any dates you will not be available due to extended vacations.
Coaching/Concert Schedule
Coachings: As scheduled. Wednesday mornings, Wednesday evenings, Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings between June 16 and Aug. 18.
Cabaret: Sunday, August 19 at 11:30AM at the Riverhouse in Haddam.
Enrollment
Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis, and is contingent upon receipt of registration forms and payment. There is a minimum enrollment of 10 students for the summer session. If this is not met, I will void and return all checks to you within 2 weeks of registration date. There is a maximum enrollment of 25 students. Spaces do tend to fill every year, so it’s best to register early!
