What kind of student is Selvey Studios looking for?

If you are serious about investing in your progress as an aspiring or current musician, Jeremiah wants you. He specializes in teaching voice, conducting, and musicianship to all levels and theory and piano to beginning and intermediate students. Since he is a college music professor, he can especially assist with college music prep, as well as audition prep for roles and gigs. He expects you to perform as often as you possibly can–recitals, competitions, auditions, etc

What goals does Selvey Studios have for its students?

Jeremiah’s goal for his students beyond performing as much as possible is growth primarily in the following areas. While the balance of the focus for these areas will vary from student to student, these are his focuses:

• Your expression and passion, your ability to transport the audience and to embody the art, not merely be an entertainer.

• Your ability to read and understand the language of music (reading music, informed style).

• Your command of technique, such that you can execute your expressive goals and demonstrate increasing efficiency in your performance area.

• You have increased enjoyment and fun in performing, managing anxiety in productive and healthy ways.

What can students in Selvey Studios expect from lessons?

• Students take conducting lessons to prepare for graduate programs.

• Students audition for high school or college choirs.

• Students learn theory and musicianship to be prepared for freshman college music programs.

• Students increase their ear training and sight reading skills.

• Students perform in recitals at least annually.

• Students audition for community or professional theater, opera, and choral ensembles.

• Students prepare 16-32 bars for a specific role.

• Students work to prepare a portfolio of repertoire for upcoming jobs and applications.

I currently have openings in the studio, and I give priority to those who are taking regularly weekly lessons, which we call a “tuition subscription.” However, I offer many different packages and options for you. The first step is requesting your free consultation. Ahead of time, prepare by reading studio policies and payment information to learn information will become helpful to you when you enter the studio.

I look forward to meeting you!
