I'm looking for a summer musical program for my daughter with an emphasis on vocals. She is 14 years old and starting high school next year (currently 8th grade). She has been taking voice lessons for several years with the last few being through a local University (Community School of Music). She is in classical training and a soprano. (Disclaimer - she started voice lessons when she was younger through a small dance studio and I didn't realize that it was a bad idea due to her age. After a few years of lessons, I was concerned that D was developing bad habits and switched her to a different teacher to protect her voice.) She loves to sing and has been singing all of her life. She has been involved with musical theatre since kindergarten, mostly Jr. productions but has also had some smaller ensemble roles with larger (mostly adult) productions. She sings wherever she's asked (mostly church, but also civic groups, schools, community activities). Her main interests are voice, musical theatre, and church.
Are there any music programs for vocalists that she could attend during the summer for her age? Most summer 'fun' music camps around our area are no longer appropriate and she doesn't enjoy them. I would also like for her to experience what a typical music student would experience in a college setting. We live in Alabama and I'm comfortable with travel through a few states in any direction, but would prefer it to be close to our state. Thank you!
