A popular TV and radio personality in our community for the past 15 years, Frank LaSpina originally came to Las Vegas as a musical entertainer and has performed at most of the major hotels. Early on, he discovered he also had a knack and a passion for sharing his craft of voice and piano with others and has had the reward of seeing many of his young students go on to become professionals themselves. One of Frank's specialties is teaching showy - yet not overly difficult - numbers for recitals and competitions, as he did for a winner of the Miss Ohio title in the Miss America Pageant. A number of well-established singers credit Frank with saving their careers by correcting the vocal damage done by improper mechanics. Among Frank's own instructors was one who studied with the same coach who taught Frank Sinatra. Currently, you can see Frank every Tuesday morning at 5:30 on the UPN television network (cable 14, broadcast 25) hosting his "Tops in Town Awards" program. The Fern Adair Conservatory of the Arts is proud to have been a recipient of this award and is equally proud to, now, count Frank LaSpina as one of our esteemed faculty members.
