Are your kids bursting with creative energy? Looking for one epic program that does it all? The Central Coast Conservatorium of Music’s brand-new triple threat Musical Theatre for Beginners program, coming soon, is your answer! With a curriculum designed to nurture talent and confidence, students will delve into the magical world of musical theatre under the guidance of seasoned professionals. Join us in Term 2 for a fun and playful introduction to stage performance.

The Performance Skills: Music Theatre Series has been designed to complement our existing vocal offerings (choir programs and individual vocal tuition) to develop and broaden core performance skills. By exploring stage craft through a music theatre-oriented curriculum, we aim to:

  • Develop body awareness and coordination through movement and dance
  • Develop the use and power of the voice through voice work, singing and breathing techniques
  • Improve mental agility, creativity, confidence and collaboration, and combat performance anxiety through improvisation and fun, creative play
  • Develop presentation and listening skills and emotional intelligence through script and character work

Advantageous not only for the stage, the Musical Theatre program strives to enhance awareness, empathy and connection in a broader sense with colleagues and audiences alike, developing and honing creative and presentational skills and provide weekly opportunities to practice and embody these discoveries.

Starting with a Beginners Class students can then advance to intermediate courses and/or specialised workshops.
