Berklee Admittance
We’re proud to hear that Andreas DeValera, a high school senior Justin and Adrienne have been working with for almost three years, has been accepted to attend Berklee College of Music in the fall! Andreas is in the process of finishing his first album and plans to have an album release concert before he leaves for school.
Denver School of the Arts Admittance
Our 6th-grade singer Kali Hoeksema-Walker just found out she has been accepted into Denver School of the Arts for 2018! There are only a small handful of spots open for 7th graders, as most students enter DSA in 6th grade and continue on. Congratulations to Kali – her hard work on sight singing, reading rhythm, learning musical notation, and singing a cappella over the last several months has paid off!
Performance High Students in the News!
Ever wonder what kind of student takes voice lessons with Kristin at Performance High in Lafayette? Here’s a great article on two of them! And this makes me happy for multiple reasons:
1) these are two of the best, hardest working young people on the planet, who both deserve recognition for their talent and excellent work and musicianship, and I could not be prouder of them;
2) not only are they both my students, they are also great friends who met through our studio, which fact demonstrates our goal to create a mutually supportive community of artists of all ages, through networking and performance opportunities. In fact, Jaden will be playing as part of Jacob’s band at the gig mentioned in the article, Prospect Sound Bites this Monday evening;
3) BoCo – represent! These two show the enormous talent and commitment we’ve got here in paradise. We may not be the big city, but yet again, Boulder County proves to be a mecca for more than just patchouli and herbal refreshment
4) this article makes me look like a rock star. I’m good with that.
Enjoy, and congrats to these fantastic musicians. The future is in good hands, and apparently, the future is now.
