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 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.   K-POP PLAYLIST - THE MUSICAL HITS OF KOREAN POP will focus on K-Pop music by various artists like BTS, BlackPink, and more, as well as the Netflix animated film, KPop Demon Hunters.

Students in grades 4th-12th 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 January 9th. 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!
