To ensure that our young artists are fully prepared for performances, an extended rehearsal period begins 2-3 weeks prior to each show s performance dates. These rehearsals will be in addition to the weekly class time and will be determined near the beginning of the semester.

Jr. (Intermediate Drama) December 5-6 The Nutcracker (SHSA Dance Ensemble) December Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (SHA) February Anne of Green Gables (Intermediate Drama) March Disney s High School Musical (Youth Drama) April Cinderella (Dance Department) May 8-10 MUSIC SHSA s highly professional, credentialed music faculty offers a variety of private music lessons, group classes and ensemble opportunities for all ages. INSTRUMENTAL Individual private lessons are offered in banjo, brass, cello, dulcimer, guitar, harp, music composition, Suzuki and traditional piano, Suzuki and traditional violin, viola and woodwinds for ages 3 to adult. SUZUKI This method of learning to play an instrument was developed by Dr. Shin ichi Suzuki after WWII. He devoted his life to the method he called Talent Education. Suzuki based his approach on the belief that musical ability was not an inborn talent, but an ability that could be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited. (Suzuki) Young children may begin their training at SHSA at age 3. Parents must agree to attend the lessons and support the learning process. The Suzuki instructor meets privately with prospective parents and students to explain the program according to their studio requirements. VOCAL Formal voice training is available for ages 12 to adult. Prior to the teenage years, physical development is usually insufficient to attain notable vocal growth. However all children deserve the opportunity to develop their love of singing in what we call their natural voice. Exceptions can be made, regarding age restrictions with approval of studio instructor, department chair and executive director. In these private singing lessons children will learn to hear music more accurately (an essential skill!), to match pitch, and to learn music more quickly. The lessons will be structured to include learning how to read notes and beginning music theory. The student will also learn beginning vocal technique through breathing and vocal production games. The songs chosen for study will be age appropriate and will include a folk song, a classical solo in English, and a Broadway song, specifically selected to fit the student s voice.
