Audition
An interview with the choral director and an audition is needed for a child 7 years and up to insure the right placement in the group as well as evaluation of the existing skills and musical knowledge. The child will be asked to sing a song of his or her choice (or an excerpt), or offered to sing a well-known song such as Happy Birthday or America the Beautiful. The vocal assessment will continue with fun and age-appropriate vocal warm-ups and rhythmic exercises.
Individual voice lessons are recommended for children who has some choral singing experience or 8 years old and up.
Children's voices develop as they mature, and choice of repertoire will be based on children's ability to sing with correct intonation, in their vocal range, and overall singing technique. Repertoire will be selected from folk songs, classical and contemporary compositions, and songs from musicals and movies.
Piano lessons are recommended for children 6 years old and up. No previous experience is required. Each student will have a customized lesson plan and program that will support their existing skills and abilities and stimulate further development of a young pianist.
Private lessons in piano and voice.
35 minute - $53
50 minute - $70
65 minute - $94 (Serious students pursuing advanced repertoire, auditions, or competitions, by a teacher's permission)
Yearly Registration fee is $70 (the fee is waived if the students take piano twice a week and are enrolled in the choir)
Yearly registration fee is 50% off if a student is enrolled in the piano or voice AND the choir.
A discount is given to children from the choir to study voice ($5 off each lesson).
