Results-Oriented Audition Training for Top College Voice Programs
Our Mission:
After adjudicating hundreds of college auditions as members of the
music faculties at NYU, Ithaca College, and other leading conservatories, CAA founders Deborah Lifton and Dr. Charis Dimaras observed a real lack of results-oriented, performance-specific training opportunities for high school and undergraduate singers. Classroom teachers focus on the fundamentals of musicianship and technique, while parents and guidance counselors generally lack familiarity with the highly specialized landscape of top performance programs. CAA was founded to address this important void. Through individual lessons, small-group instruction, and master classes, we prepare our students to give a polished performance from the moment they walk in the room.
