Summer Institute for the Vocal Arts

Is anyone familiar with this program?

My friend’s daughter participated last summer in their Spring Awakening production. If you have specific questions, I can ask her and pass on the info.

Hi, any information your daughter can provide is much appreciated! In particular, could you ask her what the age range of the students was, what the daily schedule was like, if she felt her singing improved? Feel free to PM me. Thanks so much!

I believe that her daughter, a high school rising senior at the time, was one of the younger ones in Spring Awakening. Another friend’s son was Mortiz. He had just finished his freshman year of college. Some were in their early-mid 20s. They had all technique classes (very heavy on vocal) from 9-1 and rehearsals for the show (next summer will be RENT) from 2-6. Mom says that her daughter’s voice has become much stronger and more predictable.

You can search Summer Institute for Vocal Arts on YouTube and see videos of rehearsals and the musical numbers to check it out.

(I believe there’s a program for younger kids too, but I don’t know anything about that).

Terrific - thanks so much for the info!
