Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vocal effort

There’s no one right age for every kid, teen, or adult to learn. That’s partially because every person is different and partially because there are so many different kinds of styles! This course uses video, visual, and auditory tools for training. This course is great for teens, kids, and adults.

Online courses offer learners the opportunity to immerse themselves in subjects they’re passionate about while making like-minded friends from across the country during our table reads and in the community.
