Summer School for the Solo Voice

Summer School for the Solo Voice is week long intensive study and performance opportunity for singers, accompanists, teachers and choral conductors at beginner, intermediate and senior levels. It is a non-audition program open to participants aged eight and older, regardless of experience. For many adults and youth, this is their first time singing in public, while others have participated in music festival for years, and yet others are university students pursuing a career in music. Some adult participants have never sung outside of their shower, others are long time choristers, and some studied music years ago and are ‘coming home’ to it. Summer School for the Solo Voice is able to accommodate a wide range of ages and abilities by employing highly qualified instructors who excel both as teachers and as performers. Collectively these instructors offer three to eight classes simultaneously. Each participant is given personal choice for daily classes, enabling them to custom make their own program, specializing in the areas they find most interesting and useful. Singers, accompanists, private and classroom teachers, as well as members of community, church and school choirs have all found this to be a valuable program.
