Keeping you in-the-know
September 30, 2016
Greetings!

 I haven't sent a voice email in a while and wanted to let you know the latest. 

Karen Lake
Royal Conservatory
 
Chloe and Sarah will be registering this week for Royal Conservatory testing level 2.  It is similar to Certificate of Merit piano testing.  Next time around I think we should have 2-4 students ready for testing. You sing 3 songs for the judge and then they test you on ear training and sight singing. Good luck Chloe & Sarah.  
No NATS
 
  I'm sad to announce I will not be participating in NATS Student Evaluations this year as it falls on Veterans weekend and many students will be out of town. Here's to hoping for a better date next year!  
Halloween Recital
The Halloween Recital is just a few weeks away. All students will need to sign up for the recital. Please do so below.

We have a recital at 10 AM
and one at 12 PM. 
  Hal Leonard
Vocal YouTube Contest

It is a YouTube contest for all ages.  You can sing classical or musical theater.  There’s no fee for the contest but if you want to participate you need to have the right books and if you film with us it ends up being about $50 for the videographer and pianist.

We need to buy books for the Hal Leonard contest in October.  We will arrange for filming in January.  Age ranges are as of Feb 1, 2017.  Some of the books remain the same this year!  Hurrah!  All students, even new students, can participate.  It is always a nice way to have a beautiful video of your student singing.

Spotlight
Congrats to Renee and Sarah who are both submitting to Spotlight in connection with the Los Angeles Music Center! This is only open to High School students. Renee is a Senior and Sarah is a Freshman.  Their videos look great. Check out a sample of their videos below! :)
