"What is Opera Carolina Academy?"
Opera Carolina Academy is an exciting new initiative which provides access to music instruction, music-drama instruction, and age appropriate vocal instruction for students of all ages in an artistic atmosphere which emphasizes classical music while honoring the value of musical expression in all genres. The Academy aim is to immerse students in the musical and dramatic training of the art form from the perspective of a professional singer-actor.
For more than a decade, various opera education programs, have significantly increased the awareness of the operatic art form in school age children. Also in that time period, arts instruction, especially in music, has been proven to increase student's cognitive development and improve long term academic performance. The data documenting these practical benefits only continues to grow with every scientific study. Opera Carolina Academy, through its various activities and events, is pioneering the next chapter in the evolution of opera educational outreach.
Workshops ~ Master Classes ~ Lessons
Workshops in Music-Drama or Vocal Technique - Daily or weekly workshops can be scheduled for middle school and high school student groups. The content and duration of these workshops will be tailored to the specific needs of each circumstance.
Vocal Performance Master Classes - Generally these types of master Classes are only appropriate for students ages 14 or older and are typically one to two hours in length. Any master class scheduled with an Academy Affiliated Teacher will vary depending on the specifics of each teacher and student group. Periodically the Academy will sponsor public master classes with main stage guest artists and other accomplished teachers
Private Vocal Instruction - For students 14 and older there are several options available for private voice lessons. It is rare for a student younger than 14 to genuinely benefit from regular private vocal study. Each arrangement for lessons will be subject to the age, experience and ability of the student, as well as the teacher schedule.
