Singing is, in itself, a great activity! But singing with a group is its own very special form of art! It helps singers develop a whole other set of vocal and musical skills while sharing incredible moments with other singers.
This is why we are so happy to bring back the opportunity for young singers to participate in our Youth Vocal Ensemble. This is a performing ensemble of young singers, in which participants will perform solos as well as in a group, singing in unison and/or exploring vocal harmonies.
While private singing lessons are extremely useful to help each student develop their own sound and improve their own singing technique at their own rhythm, a vocal ensemble is a great compliment to those private lessons, in which they get to put what they’ve learned in practice with other young singers and learn together as well as from each other.
The Youth Vocal Ensemble will meet every week on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 with Debi and Mel, and will have the opportunity to perform in a number of different settings including community performances, studio events, our year end recital, and more.
All prospective participants will be required to come to a general audition at Lupton Street Studios. Each singer should be ready to sing solo and in group as part of the audition. Singers should prepare a song of their choice; it can be something as simple as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or something more complex, whatever they are comfortable with.
All children are welcome to audition, regardless of whether they are taking singing lessons. They must be at least 8 years old, or invited by one of our teachers.
If your child would like to audition, please fill this quick form. We will contact you soon with confirmation. Please share with anybody else who knows a child who loves to sing!
