PBA Preparatory Department

Summer ☀️ Intensives help build new skills while further developing their technique.... but it's more than just that. Students create friendships and gain memories they will hold on to throughout their adult lives.

So keep up the great work Align Fance Intensive students, but cherish 😍 those special moments that bring you all together 😉 🎂 wishes

Voice Intensive students spent Friday diving into the Alexander Technique with Jenna Brixius, exploring how posture, alignment, and mindful movement directly support healthy, expressive singing.

They learned to release tension, breathe with more freedom, and connect their whole body to their vocal sound.
A transformative session for developing artists.

Today our Piano Intensive students stepped into DeSantis Chapel to try out the organ. 🎹

From discovering the pedalboard to hearing the room fill with sound, they experienced music in a whole new way.
Such a memorable moment for this group.

Masterclass time for these summer ☀️ intensive vocalists. This time it was with the dean of PBA's College of the Arts, Dr. Jason Lester. 🎶 🎵

Our Vocal Intensive students shined, bravely sharing their voices and learning from one another.

With guidance on tone, phrasing, and storytelling, each singer walked away with new tools and fresh confidence.
Such an inspiring session.

Piano 🎹 Intensive students had a special treat today as they gathered around the harpsichord with Dr. Yong andDr. Rojas, discovering the sound and 📖 history behind this beautiful instrument.

They explored how its mechanics differ from the modern piano and listened closely to its bright, expressive tone.
A hands‑on moment of musical curiosity and learning. 👓
