Dear SSG Potential Members,

The New School of Student Performance Group/Vocal Studies is expanding its repertoire to include a new student performance group focused community oriented program

Singers Sensation – Las Vegas Student Performance Group (SSG-music). The SSG programming is specifically aimed at group/soloists in training who will be offered the entire range of Vocal development: classical vocal training services. The "trainees" are all in school and/or of school age ranging in age from 7 – 18. A furthering of the SSG philosophy, SSG's purpose is to make student performance group a musical singing scholarship/financial aid available to all age and income groups.

How SSG is organized as a separate youth directed program within Clark County, SSG will be separately organized and funded. SSG is incorporated as a separate not for profit, charitable organization. SSG is an independent organization with its own board of directors, accountability and reporting relationship. SSG's auditioning process is available to all potential students regardless of means. SSG's scholarship/financial aid program is available to those that qualify. SSG draws on the full range of services and facilities offered by SSG at a predetermined subsidized rate. SSG subsidies will be funded by a "membership" funded program of student

participant sponsors and/or individuals who believe in the SSG. The SSG board will be accountable to the "membership" to whom they will report annually.

How SSG Works

1. An Application Process: Applications will be sought from previously identified communities through their community centers, regional schools and/or word of mouth. This process has already been successfully initiated with Clark County Schools and Las Vegas City.

Applicants will be screened and if successful will be asked to audition for the SSG. Please note that the screening process is quite rigorists and spells out in detail the commitment and disciplines required of the student.

Auditions will be held and the number of available student’s vacancies filled. There are currently 15 student members and it is SSG's intention to expand this to 40 members in 2016. Expansion both of the number of Student members as well as the possible addition of additional students will be reviewed at the end of 2015.

2. The Management Shaun J. Federico, as the president of SSG and vocal instructor is responsible for the SSG programming and instruction. He will be assisted musically by – President-Shaun J. Federico, Vice President-Steven R. Berkowitz, Secretary-Nancy F. Martin, Treasurer-Allyson Stys . For a complete list of our board members please see: www.singerssensationgroup.org ( under Board of Directors )

Shaun J. Federico will report on a regular basis to the board who in turn will report annually to the "members/sponsors".

3. The Location rent SSG space from NSCVS and undertakes its programming at its current location of 855 East Twain Ave., Suite 123-490, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169

4. Student Scholarships/Financial Aid and Subsidies

An important characteristic of SSG is that no qualified prospective student will be denied training for lack of funding. To ensure this happens: 1. SSG will provide its services at a discounted rate to SSG, and 2. SSG, through its Scholarship and Subsidy program, will subsidize any shortfall the student may encounter due to lack of funds.

5. The Members and the Funding of SSG: The purpose of the membership is to support the work and activities of SSG and to provide funding for the SSG Scholarship/Financial Aid and Subsidy program. Initially it is the intention of the SSG to underwrite and provide funds for the Scholarship/Financial Aid and Subsidy programs through an active individual membership base.

All members are encouraged to plan to attend SSG scheduled events. Membership is divided into three categories: PLATIMUM, GOLD, SLIVER MEMBERSHIP

There has been discussion around the possibility of seeking corporate sponsorships, but as of this writing our preference is to first build a base of individual membership support composed of people truly interested in the advancement of student performance group in musical training in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Together with the Board of Directors, I would like to express our thanks to you for taking the time to read this letter. We truly hope you will become a SSG member. I think you will find it a very rewarding and worthwhile experience.

Sincerely,

Shaun J. Federico President/Artistic Director SSG
