At CAA, we believe that everyone can sing. Whether you’re a trained soloist, a choir member, or a shower rockstar, we welcome you to vocal music. Vocal artists develop their technique, musicianship, and musical imagination as well as learn how to use musical tools such as solfege and notated music. Each singer receives opportunities to grow as both a soloist and ensemble musician through studying diverse repertoire varying in style, genre, and language. Through mastering this music, CAA Vocal Arts majors will cultivate long-term learning strategies, such as sight-reading and aural skills, that will allow them to continue their growth even after they return home from camp. Ability to read music can be helpful, but is NOT required.

Michele Zuckman
Michele Zuckman is the Middle and Upper School vocal music teacher at Friends’ Central School in Wynnewood, PA, where she directs the choral program for grades 9-12 and teaches a variety of music electives, including Music Theory/Composition and World Music Drumming. Originally from Allentown, PA, Michele earned a BFA in Voice Performance and Music Education at Carnegie Mellon University and an MM in Choral Conducting and Music Education at Westminster Choir College of Rider University. Michele has been a member of Chestnut Street Singers, a collaborative chamber choir in Philadelphia, since 2015, serving as a conductor, soprano, and board member during her tenure in the ensemble. Previous area musical experiences include Lehigh Valley Charter Arts High School (Choral/Vocal Music Teacher), Princeton Singers (Soprano), and Hopewell Valley Chorus (Artistic Director/Conductor). Michele has been incredibly fortunate to participate three times in week-long Circlesongs workshops, led by Bobby McFerrin, at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. When not music-ing, Michele enjoys knitting, petting cats, eating carbs, and most of all being Ira’s mom.
My daughter’s voice has improved dramatically the last two summers. She keeps in touch with her friends at camp and looks forward to going back.
