About PPAS Vocal Program
Singing for ages 8-14!!
The PPAS Vocal Program is taught throughout the year for children ages 8- 14. Small group classes (4-8 students) provide a supportive environment for learning singing basics and working on more advanced performance skills.
Our vocal program teaches beginning and intermediate singers how to sing as a soloist as well as in a group (choir).
