Sounding Board
These fun workshops are held the second Friday of each month October thru May and are open to instrumental and vocal students of the school. Students perform for other music students and receive constructive feedback from their peers and faculty members. After the performances are finished music theme games will be played and refreshments will be served, giving SPA students a chance to mingle and get to know other musicians attending the school better. We require that each music student attend one sounding board each semester.

Students wishing to attend The Sounding Board are asked to RSVP to the Naperville Campus office in person or by calling (630) 717-6622. The workshop is limited to 20 performers, but all students are welcome to attend. These workshops are free of charge!

Please note that these workshops are not intended as public performances and we ask that only students attend. Parents are welcome to wait in the SPA waiting area until the conclusion of the workshop.

All sounding board workshops are held in the Bach room at the Naperville campus the the following Fridays from 7pm-9pm.
