DBVS & audition prep Associates
At BYA, our vocal studio features experienced teachers trained to guide students of all levels and focuses. Each instructor is personally trained by Miss Dani and specializes in a unique area to enhance your vocal development. After applying, we will recommend the best teacher for your needs. Most lessons, except those with Dani, are primarily virtual—unless the instructor is not on tour or has returned for the season.
As a member of DBVS, if you are primarily working with one or more of our associates, you are REQUIRED to schedule a check-in lesson with Miss Dani after every 6–8 sessions.
