Finding True Passion

Vista Academy has an industry grade recording studio where residents are able to write, practice, play, and record music. We have a professional Pro Tools specialist who works with residents weekly. Our music director is available to work one-on-one with residents who are interested in learning or increasing their skills with piano, guitar, and/or singing. Vista Academy has equipment that includes electric and acoustic guitars, drums, electric bass, keyboards, and a piano. We have monthly talent shows that correspond with our Family Weekend program where residents can showcase their abilities to friends and family. Residents are encouraged to participate in our talent shows whether or not they have prior musical experience. All talent shows are broadcasted on the internet for families and friends who cannot attend in person.
