Our Voices In The Community
Advanced Training
The Conservatory
We are so thrilled to be able to bring an advanced training program to JPA for our older performers ages 15 years - 19 years. Many of our performers age out of our youth programs at 16 and we wanted to be able to offer a continuing education program that would be instrumental in their success if pursuing a career in the performing Arts world or just to keep building the confidence and knowledge for use in everyday life.
