University Park Creative Arts Reviews

Rated
by a  Student  
I am a current senior in high school and I attended UP from 2nd to 5th grade. It is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I have always loved the performing arts with a passion, so I was very much in my element at UP. Although I enjoyed all of the arts programs, my favorites were band, choir, and drama. Ms. Sharon Frazier, former music teacher at UP, helped develop a part of me that I didn't know existed...she taught me to love music with an intensity and a passion that I will not soon forget.
Next year, I will be attending East Carolina University to major in music education. My plan had been to become a high school band director, but I have recently began considering focusing my attention on elementary school music. It is in the back of my mind that I would love to teach at UP someday. UP gave me the headstart on my future in music. I would soo love to go back someday and inspire kids in the same way that I was inspired. If you're considering sending your child to UP, if they get even a fraction of the experience that I did, it will be well worth it.
