Imagine a world where your child’s voice finds a melody that resonates with their deepest sense of self.

At Performers Theatre Workshop (PTW), this is our everyday reality!

We don’t just have singing classes for kids to learn technique, but to gain a bigger perspective on performing, speaking, and living confidently. But why is singing such a powerful tool in a child's developmental toolkit? Sure, being a great singer is amazing– but it’s also about having the confidence, creativity, and camaraderie that helps your kid become a better version of themselves. We’ve seen kids go to conservatory and BFA programs, onto Broadway stages, or simply become more confident speakers and collaborators, even outside of the performing arts.

So, let's “raise the curtain” if you will, and discover how the simple act of singing can become a cornerstone in building your child's confidence and character.

The Benefits of Singing Classes for Kids

A study published by NIH showed something astounding: when children worked with music, their emotional intelligence, academic performance, and prosocial skills increased.

For over 40 years, we've witnessed remarkable transformations at Performers Theatre Workshop.

Initially timid and reserved, children who join PTW often undergo a striking change in just a few weeks. They emerge more confident and articulate, speaking with greater clarity and volume. This experience at PTW not only boosts their self-assurance but also helps them develop a stronger sense of identity with the love and support of their teachers and classmates.

When it comes to singing classes in particular, students often become more well-spoken, clear, and confident when communicating their needs.

Our singing classes for kids provide both group songs when they sign up for showcases, fostering a sense of belonging and shared achievement, and solos, which they work on during their 1:1 lessons– a fun challenge that can teach them pride!

A Typical Singing Class Experience at PTW

So, what can your child expect in a PTW singing class?

Acting + Singing (Combination Classes)

At Performers Theatre Workshop, we offer many singing classes, one of which is Song Interpretation class, tailored to every age and skill level, which focuses on helping students grasp the deeper meaning of the music and lyrics they sing.

By integrating acting techniques, students learn to deliver songs more effectively, and by using repertoire that spans from classic to contemporary musical theatre, students get even more enriched and broad musical experiences.

Engaging with these songs, students not only form meaningful connections with their peers but also develop a lasting appreciation and understanding of musical pieces.

1:1 Singing Classes

Our 1:1 voice lessons match your child with a voice teacher of their choosing to focus on a range of techniques from basic to advanced performing skills.

You can work on just about anything– professional performance songs, cabaret and showcase songs, or just ongoing rep songs for your next audition.

How Singing Fosters Self-Esteem and Other Skills

Self-esteem-building through singing is multifaceted.

Singing classes help children find their voice, both literally and metaphorically. This process of discovery and mastery is pivotal in building a child's confidence.

But the benefits extend even beyond self-esteem!

Singing nurtures a host of other essential life skills.

Discipline, for instance, is learned through regular practice and dedication to improving one's vocal skills.

Teamwork comes into play when participating in choirs or group performances, teaching children the value of working together harmoniously.

Creativity is sparked as children experiment with different songs and styles, exploring the vast landscape of musical expression.
