Ashlee Elmore, bio
Ms. Elmore studied with the renowned Dr. Marilyn Carver from the age of 15 and Marianne Cook, of Broadway's "The King and I" prior. Ms. Elmore went on to receive her Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Music Education in 2001, when she began teaching public school music and her own private vocal students. Ms. Elmore founded the Bartlesville Children's Choir in 2008 with Dr. Linda Jones and continued its work while simultaneously pursuing and receiving her Master's Degree in Vocal Music Education from the University of Oklahoma in 2010. While at OU, Ms. Elmore studied with Dr. Joy Nelson and received her National Certification in Kodály, a teaching method of "ear training" that allows the student to become an independent musician through their deep immersion in recognizing, understanding and performing pitch and their relationships accurately. In 2013, Ms. Elmore became the Executive Artistic Director of the Tulsa Children's Chorus, where she tripled the size of the choir during her tenure, performing for over 20,000 people in the course of those years. Under her direction, Tulsa Children's Chorus was also selected to be an Oklahoma Music Educators Association Honor Choir in 2015. Ms. Elmore then went on to become the Director of Music Education for Theatre Tulsa's youth program, where she directed hundreds of children in shows "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", "Annie", "Elf" and "Lion King". For six seasons, Ms. Elmore also served as Music Director for American Theatre Company's long-running "A Christmas Carol" in Tulsa. In 2017, Ms. Elmore founded Tulsa Youth Cabaret, an auditioned program featuring solo and group cabaret performances. From there, Ms. Elmore relocated to San Francisco, California to teach for San Francisco's leading music school, McAllister Music Studio, where she taught musical theatre, voice, piano and jazz. Due to the pandemic, Ms. Elmore decided to relocate to her hometown of Bartlesville, Oklahoma to quarantine with family, where she decided to stay to continue her work in music and watch her niece grow up! Ms. Elmore currently serves as the Music Director for St. John Catholic Church where she accompanies the congregation and cantors on piano and organ and directs the choir while also maintaining a busy private voice lesson schedule and performing career as the front person for the "Ashlee Elmore Jazz Quintet.
What is the hopeful student's first and last name and age? *
Parent/Guardian Name
What school does the hopeful student attend and what is their music teacher's name? *
What experience has the hopeful student had in vocal music? *
Does the student have a youtube video of them singing you can share? Please paste link below. If not, please record them singing on your phone and text it to (918) 331-6687. Videos longer than one minute will be too large of a file to send. Since singing in tune without accompaniment is difficult, I would encourage using a youtube karaoke track to accompany them while they sing to ensure their best delivery. If no link to post, please type below that you'll be texting your video. *
These types of classes work best with at least 10 students, so the class will not occur if that goal of 10 students is not met. *

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate families who's children's likeness cannot appear in media, as BYC is a heavily media-driven organization. *
I understand that if my child does not attend a particular week, tuition will not be refunded.
