Specialized Vocal Development
Our 6th-8th grade program works with both new and experienced singers to refine their vocal technique, sight reading, and ensemble skills. Understanding the unique challenges of adolescent vocal development, we provide specialized instruction through three distinct choirs to support each singer's journey.
Through our research-based approach, students develop strong foundations in musicianship while finding their place in our supportive community of young artists.
