Avant Academy gets Vocal

[Kingston, Jamaica, October 4, 2021] -

Avant Academy of Music will be reintroducing vocal programs starting on Thursday, October 7, 2021.  

The school had discontinued the offering of vocal programs from January 2020 as part of an overall effort to restructure the music education programs and improve outcomes by streamlining curricula.

As the COVID pandemic progressed in 2020, Avant Academy of Music had found a new home at 69 Westminster Road which provided increased physical capacity in which to develop programs. The new location provided over five thousand square feet of space, almost double what was available at the previous Barbican address.

This increased capacity brings the return of evening and weekend classes. The larger rooms also allow for group classes with enough space to allow for social distancing.

Jerone Riley, a singer, and musician who has been working with the Avant Academy of Music Orchestra in performances before the lockdowns and curfews curtailed live performances is the person who is leading the development of the new vocal programs.

The first offering is a group class for adults, “Fundamentals of Singing”. This is aimed at persons who need to understand the basics of vocal care and performance to improve their singing or to enhance their vocal leadership skills.

Consultation services are offered to persons who are interested in becoming a part of the music industry to help develop their setlists and to provide rehearsals to fine-tune their performance packages.
