Voice Lessons at L-S

As an extension of the choral music program, the L-S Music Department offers students the opportunity to study voice on an individual basis. Private voice lessons at L-S are taught by three highly qualified professional instructors who have demonstrated excellence in their performing and teaching. Lessons are scheduled on a weekly basis (after-school and evening times are available) and the rate per half-hour lesson is generally $30. Students of all interests and abilities are welcome. If you are interested in signing up, or would like more information, please contact the choral director at ruth_hartt@lsrhs.net.
