Private Voice

Private voice students come together at least four times a year to perform for each other in a studio class. During this time students receive positive and constructive feedback from faculty and other students.  Studio classes allow students to share a piece on which they are currently working.  Studio classes differ from recital, in that a recital is a performance of a polished song and a studio class includes songs that are a work in progress. Students gain from listening and learning to evaluate musical performances.

Each year our voice students prepare for their annual voice recital. The recital is in mid-May. Recitals are important, because they allow students to work toward a goal, show off their hard work and build confidence. They gain valuable performance skills by performing in front of their friends and families.

ArtWorks Academy music students can participate in the Music Achievement Award Program through Music Teachers National Association (MTNA).  The achievement program helps encourage students to continue their music study and to strive to achieve goals that will not only help them become better musicians, but also will enhance their love and appreciation of music.  In addition, this program encourages students to seek a well-rounded music education beyond the private lesson. The instructor sets goals that are both realistic and attainable for each individual student according to the student’s needs, ability and motivational level. If the student achieves the goals over a specified period of time, they will receive a Music Achievement Award.
