Our Wylie East Vertical Team works with several outstanding affiliate faculty that provide individualized vocal instruction to students during their choral class, as well as provide availability before and after school.  Students in voice lessons work vocal technique, sight-reading literacy, performance skills, and further prepare them for individual pursuits such as recital performances and contests such as All-Region/All-State Choir and Solo & Ensemble.  We invite you to learn about our voice faculty by clicking on their pictures and biographies.

Supplementary music lessons are offered as a supplement to classroom instruction. Participation in these supplemental lessons is optional. All students will have access to supplemental music lessons. Students must be fully prepared for each lesson, follow guidelines for absences, provide documentation of any required practice time, supply method books and other materials, and meet the criteria for student participation.  Parents must turn in monthly payments to the program on time, encourage the student to practice daily and sign weekly time cards, and provide reassurance and encouragement to the student regarding recitals, auditions, etc.  Lessons will be scheduled during the student's choir class, lunch hour, or before/after school. No lessons will be scheduled during non-choir classes. It will be the responsibility of the student to notify his/her supplementary instructor at least twenty-four hours in advance if a lesson is to be cancelled - unless, of course, a serious emergency arises. This courtesy is also the responsibility of the supplementary instructor if he/she must cancel a lesson. Excused absences will either be made up, or the necessary adjustments will be made for the following month's pledge. The music directors will aid the student in advising the private instructor of concerts, programs, holidays, etc., which would result in any interruption of the regularly scheduled lesson. A payment of $25.00 per lesson should be pledged and a check for that amount made out to the lesson teacher. He/she will collect payment from student for services rendered each month and will track lesson attendance, payment, etc.
