Opportunities for Students
Our Nashville students have had opportunities to work in the famous Ocean Way Studios located right on Music Row.
Set List Studio operates in-person and online, but that doesn't stop our students from collaborating. Through our bi-monthly Zoom performances that feature a rotating selection of students from our roster, students get to perform for each other and more often than not, learn a new song they'd like to add to their set list!
Finding Others
Denise taught students by herself for decades before realizing that it was time to find other people to begin mentoring students with her. Denise met Raelyn during Raelyn's undergraduate commercial voice studies at Belmont University. Upon earning her Bachelor of Music, Raelyn began mentoring students at Set List Studio. Duncan King also teaches drums at Set List Studio. He and Denise have performed a lot together and he is in her top 2 list of favorite drummers of all time, amazing!
Sharing Our Passion
Together, the mentors at Set List Studio are dedicated to guiding students through their musicianship and learning more about the unique combination of songs that have helped shape the person they are.
