High School Voice Day
Friday, October 11, 2024
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
This all-day event will feature a building tour led by GVSU voice students, masterclasses with GVSU voice faculty, a performance featuring our current students, a pizza lunch provided by GVSU, a vocal health seminar, and a choral side-by-side rehearsal. This experience will provide a valuable glimpse into life as a music student at GVSU. In addition, we have planned a special Teaching Idea Share at the beginning of the day for teachers only. Parents are welcome to attend and observe the day’s events. We encourage students to attend with their choral teacher or private voice instructor, however, students may attend independently as long as they fill out a Minors on Campus Release Form. Registration must be completed by an adult sponsor who will be responsible for all communication concerning the event. To register, please use the following link: gvsu.edu/mtd/voiceday. Participation will be determined on a first-come-first-serve basis and limited to five students per high school. If a student is interested in performing on a masterclass, Part B of the registration form must be filled out, which includes a recommendation from a private or music classroom teacher. Participants (and masterclass performers) will be confirmed via e-mail to the adult registrant. Please contact Kathryn Stieler at [email protected] with any questions. We look forward to sharing the day with you!

Minors on Campus
Grand Valley State University is committed to being a safe and healthy environment for all. This includes students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors, especially those who are minors. As a public university open to everyone, the University welcomes children and teenagers on our campuses for a variety of programs and activities planned by the University or by outside organizations. In all situations, adults are expected to be positive role models for minors, acting in a respectful and responsible manner consistent with the mission and values of the University. To promote this vision, the University publishes and enforces policies, procedures, and guidelines that have the goal of promoting health, safety, and security for minors on our campuses.
