INTRODUCING MIFAL ARTS ACADEMY FIRST DEAN, DEAN DETRECE LAVENDER

Ms. DeTrece Lavender is a true go-getter when it comes to music. She works with vocal students on proper technique, studio technique performance skills, harmonizing, and songwriting. Ms. DeTrece was elevated to the position of the Dean of MIFAL Arts Academy during the summer of 2020. When she was approached with the idea of starting a new program as part of MIFAL INC she didn't even blink an eye. That shows true dedication to the arts. MIFAL Arts Academy is truly glad to have her taking on such a great position to help us continue the arts even in the midst of a pandemic. CREATE EVEN IN A CRISIS.
