Popovsky Studios was launched in 2007 as a private voice studio in East Petersburg, Pa. The studio was founded with the purpose of helping young singers to develop both in technique and performance ability while engendering their love of the art.
As the studio grew in numbers, I realized that Popovsky Studios had the ability to grow beyond just a voice studio. The goal of creating well-rounded, enthusiastic, dynamic performers was not being fulfilled by only training singers privately. The studio has since expanded to offer students more opportunities to help them reach their individual goals.
In 2008, we began putting on semi-annual recitals in order to provide the students regular performance experiences. Mr. Martin then came on board both as the staff accompanist and second voice teacher.
In 2009 , Popovsky Studios launched its first annual summer program. While this program continues to grow and develop, the summer experience revolves around exposure to the process of putting on performances. During the camps, we encourage students to tie all the pieces together. Whether it be in the Performance workshop or the Musical Theatre workshop, students are encouraged to explore what it takes to marry acting, character, movement, staging and scene work together into a final performance (either with or without music)
Now, in 2010, Popovsky Studios once again is making enormous strides. We have acquired more space, a new voice teacher and an acting teacher. We now offer a series of acting classes, workshops, and masters classes as well as our regular private lesson.
The opportunities at Popovsky Studios are endless, but our goal always remains the same:
We are devoted to the development of well-rounded, dynamic performers through careful instruction and personal attention.
Yours in music,
Michael B. Popovsky Founder/Owner
