ONSTAGE PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPS
What exactly is a Performance Workshop?
It's an incredible opportunity that we offer our students for free with their lessons. Your child will take the songs they learn in class and practice them on stage with our experienced performance coaches. This is a unique opportunity not offered at most schools.
Your child will overcome stage fright, cultivate professionalism, and most importantly, enjoy the fun of a live performance!
OUR STUDIO
Our academy's performance venue features a professional stage with high-quality sound and lighting. Students can book time on stage to practice, helping them get used to the feel of a real show. This makes them more confident and fully prepared when it's showtime!
