Can Musical Theatre classes really make a
difference to your child?

Every parent worries that their child is being included at school, progressing as required and making friends.

For many children, especially those who are naturally shy or a little anxious, this can be difficult, so how can you best help your child?

Musical Theatre classes are an ideal way of teaching your child the social skills that are necessary for them to develop. Musical Theatre includes acting, singing and dancing and so promotes numerous benefits for the mind and body.

Drama alone, has always proven to provide children with a number of essential skills. When your child has to play the role of another character they learn how to interact in situations they wouldn’t normally face, which is a great way of helping your child overcome confidence issues.

In dance, children learn the importance of being fit and healthy. They learn to warm up and cool down, to stretch and increase their flexibility, to listen to all types of music and of course, they learn musicality!

When children sing, they have the chance to really express themselves and singing is a great stress reliever. Often, children with speech difficulties can excel at singing.
