I am so happy we found this choir for our daughter, she loves it!
Dr. Anna is absolutely wonderful! Dr. Misha is the best choir director I've ever seen! He is kind, encouraging, and inspiring! He brings out the best in everyone. The two of them together have created something extraordinary. They've changed my daughter forever.
Misha and Anna both provide heaven-sent musical instruction. My son is being supplied with both Musicianship and Vocal Training Skills privately with Dr. Misha. I enjoy that Misha is accommodating and enthusiastic and revels in my son's personal musical growth, as do I. We both appreciate Misha's verbal clarity and creative visualization skills. He makes it easily understandable how to hit notes, voice projection, singing falsetto, and breathwork.
In my search for quality music education, I found that most classes or schools hired inexperienced college students or staff to teach music to younger children. Not. Good. Then, I stumbled across Dr. Misha, Dr. Krendel and MUSYCA. During the pandemic, I had the added benefit of "monitoring" classes via Zoom and was absolutely astounded at the quality of education and repertoire presented in the most positive, fun ways I've ever witnessed. Because Dr. Misha, who has an incredibly extensive resume, teaches the students, they are exposed to the best immediately. Technique and musicianship are bundled up in so much singing, fun and respect! The music is ever-flowing and Dr. Misha is a wizard educator. These kids are getting such a high-quality foundation, it's an absolute no-brainer for us. Needless to say, we have continued through in person classes and there's not a kid that walks out of choir that isn't smiling. The executive director and virtuoso pianist, Dr. Krendel, does an outstanding job of finding extra, non-required live performance and recording studio opportunities for the kids (including performances on PBS, at the Kia Forum, sessions for UNICEF and much more) in addition to the outstanding winter and spring programs for the community. As the choirs are divided by age, there is plenty of room for social emotional and musical growth. Many friends will be made! Truly a home away from home. It is a private choir, and the value and investment in the students out-ways the cost. They do have scholarships. MUSYCA has already become and will continue to be one of the best investments in my child's education and growth as well as one of the best sources of amazing memories for our family.
