Voice lessons
Description:
We offer vocal lessons at different levels to fit vocalists of any vocal ability. Our teachers are all specialized to work with young developing voices to ensure they stay healthy during development. We predominantly teach contemporary singing including pop, musical theater, and jazz. Our program is unique as we also offer multiple performances within each semester to help students reflect on their progress, grow their confidence, connect with peers, and even give back to the community with our assisted living home recitals.

Lessons include performance prep and establishing and maintaining a strict practice schedule. The aim is to build a strong, diverse repertoire while building skill and confidence with performing so that students can leave the academy as well-rounded musicians.
