These classes have been especially designed for students with high functioning autism, Asperger's syndrome and other social cognition delays.  The exciting, fast-paced acting classes focus on the development of social skills through the use of wild and crazy theatre games!  Students will develop self-confidence, build and master key social skills, and learn valuable acting techniques and skills.  Instructors:  Charlene Wentland and Holly Johnson

The Vocal Classes are designed to provide a group vocal environmnet for students in grades 1-5 (Elementary Voice), grades 6-8 (Voice 1), and grades 9-12 (Voice 2) with the desire to become better singers and musicians. They have been carefully designed to ensure the involvement of theory and technique that is sometimes neglected in the private voice lesson. This class has it all. Through discussion and worksheets, each student can clearly watch their individual development, and understanding of musicianship, and where they need the extra work.

The 60 minute class is split into three segments:  Music Theory/Ear Training, Vocalization/Warm-Ups, and Various Musical Repertoire.  Students will be evaluated by Mark Bzdick and placed in the appropriate level based on that evaluation. 

Elementary & Voice 1 Instructor:  Celeste Agett
