POBJFKHS Students Get a Visit from Star a Capella Singer

Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School choir and a cappella group members recently attended a master class led by renowned a cappella singer and composer Deke Sharon. Best known for arranging the vocal performances in all three Pitch Perfect movies, Sharon has been called “the godfather of a cappella” by the trilogy’s star Rebel Wilson.

On October 11, Sharon offered vocal styling and production lessons to the high school chorus and its nine award-winning a cappella groups, giving student singers a valuable chance to refine their skills under his guidance.

“This was an incredible opportunity for our talented singers, who were eager to learn from one of the best in the business,” said Director of Music and Performing Arts Michael Rodgers. “The students were thrilled, and we thank Deke for taking time from his busy schedule to visit our school.”
