Joyful Praise Homeschool Choir
Joyful Praise Choir consist of homeschool students from Coweta and surrounding counties. The students are divided into two choirs as we have ages ranging from 4-18. Rehearsals are on Wednesday afternoons at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Newnan. The choir performs two musical productions each year at the local auditorium offering the students experience not only in musical performance, but also in drama, creative movement and dance. High school students are given greater responsibility being involved in backstage production as they create and build stage sets for the productions. The Joyful Praise Ensemble also participates in a choral festival and music camp each year, which gives them opportunity to perform with other youth choirs from all over the United States.

THE STILL POINTE STUDIOS is a ballet school committed to training dancers to reach their greatest potential so that wherever their dance experience may lead them, each student can be used by God, for His glory.
Time spent in our studio is purposeful. Even if a student studies with us for just a few years, the disciplines, perspectives, and opportunities they will encounter will remain with them a lifetime. However, if a student aspires to dance professionally, go on to major in dance at the college level, to teach, choreograph, or dance in ministry, we believe their training should fully prepare them to enter any of these endeavors.
We are guided by a commitment to excellence and a respect for the image of God in every student. Technical development occurs within a context that acknowledges the importance of discipline, determination, courage, patience, kindness, selflessness and regard for others. Accomplishment and joy result.

REPERI VOCEM TUAM
STUDIO.
…find your voice!
Steve Hester, 770.490.8531, rvtstudio@comcast.net
Everybody has a voice. Have you found yours? Do you have a child who likes to sing? Have they found their own special God-given voice? Reperi Vocem Tuam is Latin for Find Your Voice. And at RVT STUDIO that’s exactly what can happen, and it can be one of the most exciting journeys of one’s life!
Think of all the musical instruments you can. Brass, strings, percussion, woodwinds, even the magnificent pipe organ - - all man-made. Have you stopped to think that there is only one musical instrument created by the Creator Himself? The human voice! That’s right; your voice, or your child’s voice. Unique. Individual. One-of-a-kind. Designed and crafted by God, just as you are.
The human voice is also unique in that learning to use it to its full potential is unlike learning any other musical instrument. All other instruments can be held, touched, manipulated, and seen. Not so the voice. Your voice is inside you. It’s part of you. It can’t be taken out and tuned or repaired. It’s you. It identifies and defines you. The voice is very personal – and the instructor must tailor the instruction for each individual!
The goal of RVT STUDIO is simple. To help each student to find his or her unique, God-made voice. That one-of-a-kind, individual voice that God gave every individual. RVT STUDIO does not want to help anyone sound like anyone else. RVT STUDIO does not want to promote or champion one style of music over another. RVT STUDIO’s only desire is to help each student sound the best he or she can as we discover the voice given by God.
I am STEVE HESTER, the instructor at RVT STUDIO, and singing is my passion. I am equally passionate about helping others on the journey of discovering their own unique voice.
Here’s a bit about me:
25 year resident of Fayette County
Graduate of Shorter College, Bachelor of Music, Voice Performance
Graduate of Mercer University, Master’s of Music, Voice and Conducting
Additional study at Westminster Choir College, Princeton, NJ
Master Classes with Dr. Oren Brown and Walter Tausig of the NYC Metropolitan Opera
Study with Margaret Harshaw of the NYC Metropolitan Opera
Study of Vocal Science with Dr. Thomas Cleveland of the Voice Center at Vanderbilt University
I am married and have three children and two dogs.
I would deem it an honor and privilege to take you, or your child/children, on the journey of a lifetime; the journey of finding your unique, singularly special voice. Contact RVT STUDIO to set up the lessons to make the journey. The phone number and e-mail address are at the top of this page.
