REACH 2024-2025
“Reach with bold hands - become all you dream.”
— Crescendo
This year at REACH Leadership Academy, we brought the arts to life! Students explored their voices, tapped into creative movement, and discovered the power of expression through the arts. From singing and dancing to producing over 100 original tracks and learning one of the most challenging instruments - violin - they unlocked new skills, built confidence, and found joy in creating something uniquely their own. Below are some of the incredible moments that highlight our students’ creativity, growth, and joy throughout the year
With Teacher Angie leading the way, and Teacher Honey adding to the magic - the dance room became a space of movement, freedom, and joy. Students learned how to connect rhythm with expression, picking up new choreography, techniques, and the power of teamwork. Over the year, we watched shy beginners transform into confident dancers who weren’t afraid to take the floor and leave it all out there. The energy, the progress, and the fun — Angie brought it all year long!

Music Production!
This year, our 4th–6th grade students dove into the world of digital music production— and they blew us away!
Under the guidance of award-winning producer Teacher Keith and fellow teacher James, our students didn’t just learn about music — they became producers! With their own computers and pro-level tools at their fingertips, they built beats, crafted melodies, and arranged full songs from the ground up. Keith and James brought real industry experience straight into the classroom, turning lessons on rhythm, tempo, layering, and song structure into a hands-on creative adventure. By year’s end, the students created over 100 original tracks — and below is a playlist of 30 that highlight the creativity and range of these young producers!

This year, Teacher Wendi brought the energy, confidence, and heart to every voice session! Under her guidance, students discovered the power of their unique sound — learning not just to sing, but to express themselves with boldness and creativity. From vocal warm-ups to full performances, Wendi helped unlock voices that grew stronger and more fearless with every class. The growth in confidence and artistry has been nothing short of inspiring!
Vocal Lab!
Violin Lab!
Violin is one of the most challenging instruments to learn — and these students took it head-on! Under our Program Director Kybra and Teacher Deonna’s guidance, they went from absolute beginners - learning how to hold the bow to mastering their first songs, their progress was nothing short of remarkable. Tackling such a demanding instrument and making real music by year’s end is a true testament to their hard work and dedication!
