Northern Region/All State Info

Students must either take lessons with a private teacher, or work after school on their solo preparation. Students who take private lessons are still required to perform for me at least once to ensure they are prepared for their audition. Students who work regularly (a minimum of four times) after school, along with individual preparation, should be prepared enough for a positive audition.

I am available after school to assist in preparation on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and by appointment if those times do not fit a student’s schedule. Students should be signing up for these times in the choral room (on the announcement board) to confirm they are coming to practice or see me for alternate times.
