Join vocal coach and music director Matthew Hinson on February 7, 2027 for a two-hour workshop focused on the music of Into the Woods, one of our Spring Musical Productions at Charlotte Academy of the Arts.

It’s the kind of detailed, hands-on vocal work that transforms an audition, whether you’re preparing for Into the Woods or any musical.
