Introduction
I'm Andrea Vibe and will have the pleasure of guiding you through Music Appreciation . I love working with students who have a desire to learn and will look forward to sharing with you!
A little about me: Singing professionally since the age of twelve, Andrea Vibe has performed on nearly every continent on the globe. A featured soloist with several musical acts including Big Bands and Orchestras, Andrea toured the United States, Europe, South America, the South Pacific, and the Middle East. A team-up with World Vision took her to Africa for a famine-relief benefit concert tour, and she has performed at both the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland.
Andrea's dedication to developing her natural talent led her to legitimate training. Pedagogy has become a great passion and because of this love, Andrea founded VIBE Performing Arts in 1994. In June of 2000, VIBE moved to its current location in Valencia Plaza to include a multi-purpose theatre, a dance studio, and seven small studios. With over twenty-five instructors, and three hundred weekly students, VIBE has become the largest performing arts school in the Santa Clarita Valley. Besides directing and teaching at VIBE, Andrea has been an Associate Music Professor at College of the Canyons since 1997, is a published author of two Sing With Confidence books and coaches Celebrities and contestants on The Voice and American Idol.
Music is a great passion and I hope you enjoy the course!
