This musical theater conservatory experience is intended for those students who are serious about refining their skills as a musical theater performing artist. This course is only available to those select students I invite and is highly competitive. You must complete Semester 1 as a prerequisite and be invited to enroll in Semester 2 to be eligible. I keep these courses private from the general public on Outschool, so that I can maintain a high quality class environment for those who are at a higher level in their training.

Through this conservatory, I am replicating a high quality, in person Performing Arts Academy experience, while making it lower cost and virtually accessible to a wider audience. 

I endeavor to create a highly encouraging learning environment and uphold certain behavioral standards of focus and respect in the virtual classroom. This is meant to protect and heighten the class quality and experience for all the students involved. I believe in positive constructive criticism and continual peer observation/support.
