Quote:

Shenandoah Conservatory is a one-of-a-kind institution with opportunities for students to be exposed to a wide variety of music and creative artists. You will be hard-pressed to find another conservatory where you can hear Bach, Mozart, Puccini, Gershwin, Jason Robert Brown, Karmin, Metallica, and Green Day coming from the same studio. The faculty are on the cutting edge of voice training and the collaborative atmosphere makes it a joy to teach here.
