As the world is healing and the music world is starting to look more normal with tours coming back, we are excited to have many of our students and friends being so active and dropping music or heading back out on the road! We are incredibly proud of the hard work that everyone has put in to their vocal training and within their individual projects! Here's a few examples of recent student work and upcoming events!
