Several of our vocal music majors are involved in local musical theater productions. If you would like to be listed, please submit your announcement to Mr. Styron or Mr. Shively. Congratulations students on your accomplishments! Voice Lesson information (HS only) As most know, all HS students are required to be enrolled in private voice lessons. Though we prefer that you study on campus with one of our resident artists, you may opt to study off campus with a qualified voice teacher who has classical training (at least a Bachelors degree in music), is well-versed in classical vocal repertoire (English and foreign language art songs), as well as musical theater and jazz vocal repertoire. Because the new school schedule is not easily allowing students to have free periods, students may have the option of taking lessons during lunch, their major period, and after school. If you are a continuing student, please contact your teacher as soon as possible to reserve a time and day that accommodates both of your schedules. Their contact information is listed on this page. Students must take at least 15 lessons per semester. Payment schedules can be worked out directly with your student's voice teacher. Rates are $45 per hour and students can opt to take 30-minute, 45-minute or 60-minute lessons, depending on your level of study, finances, and voice teacher's discretion. If any student has financial difficulty paying for lessons, there are departmental scholarships available. Please do not hesitate to contact the directors for more information. | ||
