Summer Fun at HMAC

Exciting times at HMAC right now!   As we draw closer to the big showcase, Arts in Motion, the instructors are working hard to get their students ready, and the students are really rising to the challenge.  My acting students have their lines down pretty well and are looking forward to the small test audience I’ve invited for our next class.

Beyond the showcase, I’m looking forward to the new opportunities starting up over the summer.   We have week-long camps for ballet, dance and theater; several regular fitness and dance classes; plus something all new.  This summer we will begin offering voice lessons for kids.  This is an exciting development because it provides a new opportunity for the younger kids in the community  Kendra Mikols will be joining us at HMAC beginning this summer. (You’ll get a chance to hear her sing at the spring showcase!)  She’s a recent college grad with a bachelor’s degree in Music Education, vocal emphasis.  Aside from giving private lessons in the studio, she will teach a weekly class designed to engage young musicians, introducing students to the basics of singing and helping to cultivate their talent.  It’s a fun setup, and I think students will really respond well.

Now that we have theatre, dance and voice covered, I see a lot of future potential for things like joint classes and even musical theater camps.  Anyway, I just wanted to welcome our friend Kendra into the fold.  We’ll see you at the showcase!
