Musical Theatre
Children love acting, singing and dancing. There is a magical connection between young performers and musical theatre.
GAPA’s exciting and challenging musical theatre tuition caters for children aged 5-16.
Through acting, students develop skills in listening, speaking, taking turns and co-operation through playful and engaging activities.
They sing and learn about the voice and how it works, how to stand, how to breathe, how to sing in tune and how to develop the confidence to expand the vocal range and increase the power of the voice.
Students improve posture, balance and co-ordination through dance while developing confidence and the ability to work within a team.
Learning at GAPA is educational, rewarding, and most of all fun!
Teachers are pleased to share their knowledge, ideas, and love of acting, singing, dancing and performing with students. Come along and trial a class.
