Our philosophy focuses on integrating and improving your technique, your physical well being, and your artistry.

The Young Artists are assigned a new aria and language group (French, German, Italian, and English) each week and rotate to the next language the following week.  These are the arias you will perform at the weekly concerts.

Throughout the month, Guest Faculty also present sessions on the business of singing, media, branding and marketing, performance psychology and dramatic interpretation.
