[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is Duke Ellington handling distance learning?

Would love to hear experiences from current families. Especially interested if the school has indicated how COVID-19 will affect their programs like vocal music and musical theatre, given the concerns about spread through singing?  I've also seen articles about industry concerns about spread through wind instruments.

Have a musical kid who will be in 8th grade this fall and may be interested in auditioning.  We realize there is a possibility of a lot of modifications in the program. Don't see any specific updates about this on their website. Thanks in advance for any info from current families.

Do they now have a musical theatre program?  They have theatre (acting)  and they have voice, but they did not have musical theatre unless that was new this year.[/quote]

Musical theatre isn't one of the disciplines at Ellington. Every few years they put on a musical, but drama and voice are distinct programs and you must audition and specialize in one or the other.

I am an Ellington fan, but their website is not great. Don't expect to glean much there. Ask around until you find someone who knows someone whose kid attends/attended.[/quote]
