Group Singing and Drama Classes – Glee Style

While teaching correct vocal technique and different performance styles, our singing coach will give students the opportunity to sing a wide variety of songs allowing them to lose themselves in their favourite songs.  This is combined with our drama program as we feel, the two complement each other.

 

Our drama program covers many aspects of drama including character development and staging plays and musicals. Other activities included in our programs are: speech and language development, improvisation and creative movement, theatre games and a lot of laughs. We then combine the two and will showcase it in our concerts.
