Are you a teen who loves to sing and perform? Are you planning to pursue a college degree in music or vocal performance?
Teen Vocal Studio is a unique training program for high school singers considering a future in music and opera. As a member of Teen Vocal Studio, you will have the chance to participate in workshops and masterclasses designed to cultivate their skills as performers. Studio members will also join the cast of the 2025 Youth Opera Project production of Robin Hood.
This year, Teen Vocal Studio is partnering with ArtSmart, a national non-profit organization whose aim is to transform the lives of youth in under-resourced communities across the U.S. through tuition-free music lessons and mentorship by paid, professional artists. If you do not currently study with a voice teacher due to financial barriers, you can qualify to receive free voice lessons through ArtSmart.
As part of our commitment to equity, Seattle Opera is dedicated to providing programs that are accessible to everyone in our community, regardless of financial standing. Fees for our programs are offered on a voluntary sliding scale, and we ask that each family choose the level that best fits their ability to pay. All participants receive the same instruction regardless of payment level. If none of these options work for you, please contact us to request financial assistance.
Teen Vocal Studio is sponsored by Maria and Charles Schweizer.
