The Dan Faber Vocal Studio Scholarship!
Introducing: The Dan Faber Vocal Studio Scholarship!
During the Pandemic, I offered significant financial assistance to those financially affected. This offering resulted in several students getting to take voice lessons, who wouldn’t have been able to afford to do so, regardless of Pandemic-based hardship. I believe it’s incredibly important to offer access to affordable, high-quality voice training, especially to those who would benefit from the assistance from a younger age! The DFVS Scholarship offers just that!

The DFVS Scholarship offers just that!
What is it?
A 50% Scholarship for voice lessons for two students throughout the recipients’ Junior and/or Senior year(s) of High School!
How Has It Helped In The Past?
Last year was the first trial run of this scholarship.
Ronnie Espinosa was a high school senior with limited formal music training, but a desire to pursue musical theatre in college. He was working an after-school, part-time retail job, and was paying for all his training out of his own pocket. The DFVS Scholarship allowed him the opportunity to take half-off lessons to improve his vocal technique, prepare for (and book!) a lead in his high school musical, and most importantly, prepare for multiple college auditions. He was ultimately accepted into AMDA, the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City!
Ronnie’s dedication was impressive, his growth was inspiring, and his success is a testament to how the DFVS Scholarship can truly change the life of a young artist.
