item #6 Singing Performance Class
If you can sing "Happy Birthday" on key, there's a likelihood you can become a competent singer. This one a half hour coaching session is not for the karaoke screamer at the local happy-hour pub. Rather, it's for someone who wants to work on vocal production, interpreting the lyrics, improvisational skills, imagining who you are singing to and what message/feeling you want to communicate/convey. Other elements include stance, eye focus, the 4th wall and auditioning skills. So, if you want to improve your performance or want to test the waters to determine if the next American Idol is laying dormant inside just waiting to be set free, let's get started!
Gilbert Roth performed Off-Broadway in Gigi (starring Bob Cuciolli) and in numerous regional, dinner theatre and summer stock musical productions. His credits include the title roles in Man of LaMancha and Zorba. He was considered and called-back three times for the role of Javert in Les Miserables.

He is enthusiastic and a patient teacher.

item #8 Hudson Valley Sightseeing Flight with Jeff
You'll depart from Sky Acres Airport, which hosts many historic aircraft and has a nice cafe. The flight will last for up to 45 to 60 minutes.
We'll probably head north over the village of Millbrook, tour the rolling hills of scenic Dutchess County, then west to pass over the Hudson River, tour the Wallkill River Valley, get a great view of the Shawgunk Mountains, perhaps Lake Minnewaska, then back home to the airport.....or we could take a southern track over Putnam County, if you so prefer, with a view of West Point.
This is a great and very unique gift idea for someone who seems to have everything. Old, young and everyone in between will appreciate this experience.
Scenic flights will only be scheduled for perfect weather conditions that will provide maximum passenger comfort with good visibility and a smooth ride. Should we take off and you feel uncomfortable for any reason, we will immediately return to the airport.
Most people describe the experience as "breath-taking and spectacular"! Also......"I could not believe what the world looks like from 2000 feet! At first I was a bit concerned about being in a small airplane, but WOW!!! The filght was smooth, and getting a better understanding of flight was worth everything, even without the view. Don't forget your camera!!!
