Students gain an understanding of different musical genres through training in vocal technique, harmonization, rhythm, style, simple movement and coaching in stage presence culminating in a final concert for family and friends. Students perform as a class for 2 numbers and in smaller ensembles based on age and ability. All students receive solos within these numbers. All students perform in a final concert as well as participating in a professionally recorded and filmed music video.   KING OF POP - THE MUSICAL HITS OF MICHAEL JACKSON will focus on pop musical numbers throughout his career.

Students in grades 4th-9th who are new to Vocal Academy should prepare an audition video of any song that showcases their vocal abilities and stage presence to be submitted no later than August 15th. Younger students new to Vocal Academy should expect to sing Happy Birthday a cappella and/or do some individual vocal warm ups with the instructor on the first day of class.  These "auditions" are simply to give instructors an introduction to your voice and stage presence.  All students will participate in a final concert at the end of the session for family and friends!
