DGN Friends of Fine Arts
Thank you for supporting your student's music education. Our success depends, in part, on the support of our families. Please consider donating your time and/or money to support the DGN Friends of Fine Arts, our parent booster organization that is integral to the choir's success!

Each member of the DGN Choirs is encouraged to study voice with a qualified professional. Private study offers students an outstanding opportunity to work one-on-one with a specialist on their singing technique and musical learning. Lessons are offered at DGN, generally beginning two weeks after the start of school. In a typical year, students take a 1/2 period lesson (25 minutes) once a week, and are scheduled during a study hall or music class. This year, private instruction is being offered by our voice teachers online. All DGN vocal instructors work as “independent contractors,” and payment for lessons is handled between the teacher and the family directly. All private teachers are asked to adhere to a suggested standard rate for lessons. Students who are interested in auditioning for North High School ensembles or ILMEA & ACDA honor choirs, or who would like to perform a solo at the Vocal Festival should strongly consider taking private lessons. Although you may begin lessons at any time, it is recommended that you begin in the fall to ensure placement with a teacher at the school.
