NYSSMA SONG LIST FULL
“You sang with a wonderfully controlled and supported tone, full of color, shading, and expression.” The comments of the adjudicators on our students’ NYSSMA evaluation pages speak for themselves: When our students learn this valuable skill, it often gives them an “edge” in NYSSMA. In addition to the requisite musical and vocal skills, we train your child using our unique specialty: knowing the “acting” inherent in each song.
NYSSMA SONG LIST PROFESSIONAL
So, we can teach your child the “tricks of the trade” to make his/her NYSSMA performance as professional and polished as possible.

Solos range from Level 1 up to Level 6 All-State. Our highly-qualified singing instructors can help your child choose the appropriate level for his/her NYSSMA solo. This way, your child can be considered for All-State Chorus. Your singing instructor will make certain that you know the additional requirements for Level 6 All-State.

In addition, we can assist you with the process of ordering NYSSMA-compliant sheet music or music books. Parents often have questions due to lack of information from their child’s school……we have the answers! We’ll provide you with information about NYSSMA regulations specific to voice. We can help to minimize the student’s anxiety (and in some cases, fear!), as well as the parents’ confusion. At the Professional Voice Care Center, our goal is to take the stress out of this process. Although this can be a wonderful musical experience, it can be a source of stress for both student and parents. Many students are interested in participating in the New York State School Music Association evaluation and festival…NYSSMA for short.
