Performing Arts Workshops

 
  • Pictures from the Performing Arts Workshops
  • What are the Performing Arts Workshops?
    During school vacations we offer full- and half-day music/drama workshops for small groups of students between the ages 5 and 11. The curriculum includes building musical instruments, composing songs, reading music, drama study, improvisation and working with props and costumes. During the week, performers prepare a mini-musical and write their own musical compositions using the instruments they've built in the workshops, which they perform for guests on Friday during the last hour of the workshops. Please note that half day students stay full day on Fridays

    Our instructors are fabulous, caring, experienced, professionals. Most instructors have a degree in music and/or music education. In addition, we have helpers for each week, making this a small group environment with a lot of attention.

    We provide a snack in the morning and a snack in the afternoon. Students should bring a nut free lunch and drink with them. We do have a refrigerator and a microwave. We are centrally air-conditioned and have a private bathroom.
