We are finally closing in on the end of a crazy year!!! As we relax and recharge I encourage your student to explore ways to reengage with their creative side and reinvigorate their voice this summer with some voice lessons or even a wonderful choir summer camp. These opportunities allow your students to connect with others who share their passion while also receiving instruction from some of the best teachers in the business.
I have included below a list of fabulous SoCal voice teachers who work professionally in the area and have become fluent with using Zoom or teaching in person. These talented singers range from Met Opera singers to Oberlin Conservatory graduates and are all personal friends of mine. If you are looking for a recommendation for your student please feel free to reach out and I would be more than happy to answer questions, make recommendations and introductions.
Another wonderful opportunity to get in vocal shape, and make new choir friends, is the Pacific Chorale Summer Choir Camp June 27th-July 1st. This is a wonderful day camp put on by the staff of the award winning Pacific Chorale where your students take classes all day on music theory, vocal performance, leadership training, musical theater performance and it all culminates in a concert at the end of the week. If you register before May 15th you get a $75 discount plus Pacific Chorale has scholarships available while supplies last. Additionally if the Pacific Chorale scholarship is not sufficient there is some scholarship money available from our choir department. The camp takes place at CSU Fullerton and if we can set up a Saint Carpool if enough singers sign up.
I have also included two sleep away summer music camps in the Southern California area. Both have incredible facilities and a talented team of teachers to nurture your student while they learn music in the mountains. Arrowbear is more budget friendly and Idyllwild requires an audition and is comprehensive. Find more info below.
It is so exciting that we have so many wonderful opportunities available to our students. I encourage you to chat with your student about getting back into vocal shape this summer and as always please contact me with questions. Music is coming back!!!
