In October 2024, we will be continuing to offer a junior class for students 9 – 12, and a senior class for students 13 – 17. The program gives youth an opportunity to expand their acting skills and challenge themselves with the lyrics and patter of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The senior class will also include more advanced acting skills and choreography.
Classes will include professional instruction in acting and voice, and the program will culminate in two youth performances on the set of our mainstage production for their family and friends. They will work on a full set with lights, sounds and costumes.
Students enrolled in the program gain confidence and aptitude in their singing through learning the basics in choral singing: tuning, breath management, vowel formation, good diction, posture and facial expression using vocal warm-ups, exercises and homework. The basics of musical sight reading will be taught, listening skills will be honed, and singing in harmony will be introduced. The fun, humour and drama of Gilbert and Sullivan is a great way for youth to be introduced to classical music. Group vocal lessons encourage teamwork and friendship, in a low-stress environment! All students will also have the opportunity to try their hand at solo singing, if they so wish, and the learning environment created will be positive and constructive.
No classes over winter break or holiday long weekends.
