Music Electives

For choristers who wish to broaden their musical and technical skills, the Academy houses an extensive music electives program, offering private vocal and instrument lessons, performance workshops, music theory classes and more. Those who study privately have the opportunity to perform for friends and family in a recital at the end of each term as well as perform in Masterclasses with renowned artists.  These courses are optional for students, but are strongly encouraged.

A sampling of elective music courses includes:

Group Voice Class: Level I and II
Introduction to Song Writing and Arranging
Sight singing and Music Reading Study Session
