A Program for Students Who Love to Sing and Perform

The Beachside Vocal Arts Studio is a nationally recognized high school choral program for students who are passionate about singing and performing.

Families choose our program because it combines high-level musical excellence with a supportive and encouraging environment. Students develop vocal technique, musicianship, confidence, and leadership while performing locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally.

Our singers appear in adjudicated festivals, honor ensembles, community performances, and major events. This summer, members of our program will perform in Venice, Florence, and Rome, representing our school on an international stage.

Whether a student is an experienced performer or simply loves to sing, the Beachside Vocal Arts Studio provides meaningful opportunities to grow, learn, and perform at a high level — while still participating in athletics, advanced academics, and other school programs.

If your student enjoys being on stage and is looking for a place to belong, this is the program to consider.
