At CCA-Africa students learn directly from practicing professionals about everything from
recording and editing techniques to network communications and basic business practices
and our students cultivate aural acuity and musical knowledge that sets them apart in
the field. Among subjects taken, students study music theory, mbira, recorder, piano and
different guitars and music inspires our most profound and intimate feelings and
expressions, and at CCA-Africa our students learn how to use the piano to share these
beautiful ideas with others.
When they study voice at CCA-Africa, you get more than a secure technical foundation in
vocal and dramatic skills which give students a deep love and respect for the art forms
that feature the singing actor. In addition to diction, style, musicianship and vocal
pedagogy, our curriculum stresses the importance of the artist’s role in the
community.
