About Elementary Voice Class
Schedule: Meets weekly from Sept through mid-to-late May. The studio is closed for major holidays.
Location: Offered at one or more of our studio locations in Boyertown, PA.
Grades: 2-5 (ages 7-11)
Class size: Class size varies - but typically from 4-12 students in this class.
This class is part of Collective Harmony, our umbrella term for our vocal ensembles.
This class allows students to progress at their own pace — working in groups to develop vocal skills through repertoire, and providing opportunities for solo singing for those who feel ready to take that step.
Performance Opportunities: This class performs at least once a year - at the Snowfall Serenade.
Performance Attire: No special ensemble attire for this group - anything that is dressy and appropriate to the event!

Singing has always been a passion for my daughter, and thanks to Ms. Trish, that passion has truly blossomed. Her guidance has nurtured not only my daughter’s vocal talent but also her confidence and love of performing. Ms. Trish creates a fun, welcoming environment where students feel supported and inspired—and we’re so grateful for the joy she brings to every lesson.

My daughter has been taking piano and singing lessons with Patricia Keith for years, and we love it at the studio! Ms. Trish and her team are not only super talented but also friendly and welcoming. My daughter loves her classes and always comes home with a smile excited for next class, and she’s learned so much! It was always important to me that she learns to read music and Ms. Trish is awesome at helping her learn at her pace. Plus, she can’t get enough of the summer camps!

Patricia Keith is talented with music and song. This educational studio you can learn to play string, piano, or sing. She believes that all children can learn to sing. Through out the year the performances that I witness are breathtaking and never do I have a dry eye. The children to the young adults all have voices of angels. Thank you Ms. Trish!
