CELEBRATE WITH SINGING! is an entertaining and imaginative program designed to introduce young people to the wonderful world of music. From blockbuster Broadway hits to soaring arias by Puccini, Verdi and Johann Strausss, this performance explores the wonder and mystery of the human voice. The audience will be treated to a demonstration of different voice types, an inside look at creating a musical theater character and an opera guessing game which proves just how captivating and accessible this art form can be. From a classical treatment at the piano of "The Wheels On the Bus" in the style of Mozart, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff to a heart-pounding rendition of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, this show is guaranteed to captivate and awaken young minds to the powerful magic that is music.

Our program is inspired by years of teaching music in college and preparatory music conservatory programs. Today's new research has proven that prolonged exposure to classical music can increase a child's capacity for learning new skills, particularly in math and deductive reasoning, and have an overall positive effect on their IQs. Of all the fine arts, music is the most emotionally accessible to children. It provides them with a marvelous vehicle for self-expression. The students walk away feeling that it is just as cool to listen to Mozart or Andrew Lloyd Webber as it is to listen to rap or heavy metal.
