Additionally, as a "get-acquainted" offer, NOVAA will be offering beginning voice studies for adults through HCER. Anyone age 18 or over may register through HCER for private half-hour lessons, which will be held at NOVAA.

Volunteers
Be a part of NOVAA  as a volunteer! It is a chance to meet new people, have fun, see NOVAA from the inside and help our students be the best they can be!

Some assignments require a regular ongoing commitment, once a week or once a month; other opportunities are assigned when special needs arise, such as Recitals.

We're developing a list of volunteers, so let us know what types of assignments you want or inform us of a special skill you can contribute to NOVAA and we'll contact you.

SPRING 2007: 
Mary Beth Bulen awarded Scholarship
to Oberlin

Though it comes as no surprise to anyone who has heard Ms. Bulen sing, it is a distinct pleasure to announce that Mary Beth has accepted a substantial scholarship and will be attending Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a Vocal Performance major starting Fall 2007.

In addition to the Oberlin scholarship, Mary Beth auditioned at and was offered substantial voice scholarships at Boston Conservatory, Baldwin-Wallace College and Boston University. Kent State University’s School of Music offered full scholarship if she enrolled as a vocal performance music major.

Mary Beth started at NOVAA several years ago as a high school freshman at Stow-Munroe Falls High School. As she recalls, “When I came to NOVAA, I thought I wanted to sing Broadway, but I’ve learned so much and now it is opera for me!”
